What is Elm?
Elm refers to several types of trees that belong to the family of Ulmaceae trees. Although everyone is in the same family, they may have specific differences. For example, one type of ELM can grow greater than other or other varieties may have thicker bark or differently shaped leaves. These types of trees are found around the world with different species that thrive in different climate. It is important to be able to identify the ELM tree to prevent certain tree diseases.
Elm trees came from Asia about 40 million years ago and were then transferred to Indonesia. In the 19th century they arrived in North America and Europe. During this time, cultivators used them as ornamental trees. Avenue and streets were often lined with ELMS, where they created a tunnel effect on the streets. Fallen leaves were rapidly decomposing, so they also maintained and took care of them.
The strong thick wood of the ELM tree makes it virtuals to divide the durable. This means that it can handle water or pollution better than other types of trees. NabYTEK, such as chairs or tables, is produced with this thick wood, and because it is able to handle environmental changes, it is also used to produce coffins. Another advantage of ELM is that it grows fast. It is so strong that it can withstand wind damage and can also tolerate colder climate and types of soil.
Some ELMS species are susceptible to disease and water damage. After the wood is cut off from the tree, it is resistant to water, but the root system and the tree base can be damaged by excess water while growing. The Dutch ELM disease is a micro-fungus that can easily kill this tree by blocking nutrient flow. Scolytus beetle spreads this disease from tree to tree. By cultivating cultivators successfully created ELMS resistant to illness.
Healthy Tree ELM can live for 300 years and these trees can increase the values of properties. Most types of these trees grow to reach a height of 40 feet (12 methrone), but American elms can grow to reach a height of 115 feet (35 meters). This leaf tree can provide enough shade and cooling during the summer months, and this cooling effect is equal to five air conditioning units.
