Ulmus glabra

Ulmus glabra is a tall broadleaved tree occuring throughout the temperate and hemiboreal forests of Europe. It is of intermediate shade-tolerance, able to resprout and is a common component in temperate mixed broadleaved forests. Its wood is light to medium brown and of good quality for furnitur, flooring and as firewood.
Wych elm serves as a resource for dozens of caterpillar species in Europe. While some elm feeders are specific at the plant genus level, many others are shared with various deciduous broad-leaved trees or shrubs, and in a few cases even with herbs. The tree species has substantial potential in the preservation and support of insect biodiversity.
