Cedar Elm, also known as Fall, Basket, Scrub, or Southern Rock Elm, is a medium to large deciduous tree that grows to 90 feet tall, with a rounded crown. Its small leaves are rough and its fruits are small-winged seeds that mature quickly after flowering in late fall. This tree grows in partial shade and in moist to dry soils, serving as an excellent source for food, cover, and nesting sites. Cedar Elms are partially resistant to Dutch elm disease; consult with your native plant nursery.
