Also called the Lacebark Elm or Leather-Leaf Elm, this small deciduous tree is native to Asia, but was brought to the United States and Canada where it is planted for its beautiful exfoliating bark. These fast-growing trees can grow up to 10-18 m tall and have grayish brown, flaking bark mottled with red and white. This species is resistant, but not immune, to Dutch Elm disease.
