Cultivation
Before the outbreak of Dutch elm disease, U. serotina enjoyed limited popularity as a shade-tree in the southern part of its range. The tree grows well on most soils but is intolerant of anaerobic or saline conditions; it is also frost-tolerant to - 30°C. (-23 F). The September Elm is very rare in cultivation in Europe, and it is not known to have been introduced to Australasia. There are no known cultivars of this taxon, nor is it known to be in commerce.
