Description
The Cedar Elm is a medium-sized to large deciduous tree growing to 24–27 m tall with a rounded crown. The leaves are small, 2.5 cm - 5 cm long by 1.3 cm - 2 cm broad, with an oblique base, and distinguish it from Ulmus serotina with which it readily hybridizes in the wild. Leaf fall is late in the year, often in early winter. The wind-pollinated apetalous perfect flowers are produced in the late summer or early fall; they are small and inconspicuous, with a reddish-purple color. The fruit is a small winged samara 8 – 10 mm long, maturing quickly after the flowering in late fall .
