Scotch Elm – Ulmus glabra

Family Ulmaceae – Zelkova, Hackberry, Elm

Scotch elm is a native of Europe and planted for shade and ornamental purposes. The tree has a broad crown with upright branches, growing to 20 meters.

One cultivar, the Camperdown elm, is commonly planted for its weeping habit and is often budded on a Siberian elm understock.

European elms are sensitive to Dutch elm disease and elm yellows, as are the American elms.
