Ulmus pumila, known as the Siberian elm, is a fast-growing deciduous tree reaching heights of 50 to 70 feet with a broad, vase-shaped crown. It features dark green, serrated leaves that turn a subtle yellow in autumn. Highly valued for its extreme hardiness, it thrives in poor soils, urban pollution, and drought conditions. While often used for windbreaks and erosion control, its brittle wood and invasive tendencies require careful placement in managed landscapes and gardens.
