Not only is the Chinese elm a very attractive tree for southern landscapes but it also requires little maintenance and is very durable. Once established, it is somewhat drought tolerant and is an outstanding performer. It has proven to be highly resistant to both the Dutch elm disease and the elm leaf beetle, both of which have been highly destructive to our native American elm. This tree is highly variable in size. The distinctive bark of the Chinese Elm is smooth, mottled brown, and sheds in thin flakes, exposing orange to reddish brown inner bark.
