Elm trees are tall, beautiful trees that can grow up to 100 feet high and look like giant umbrellas or fancy vases! Their leafy branches spread way out and reach high into the sky, which makes them perfect for giving cool shade on hot summer days. Elm trees can live for more than 200 years.
Elm leaves have tiny “teeth” along the edges, like a little saw, and they feel a bit rough when you touch them. Their flowers are special because they do not have any petals and are pollinated by the wind instead of bees! Elm trees grow small, round seeds with little wings called samaras that spin and twirl like tiny helicopters when they fall.
