'''''Ulmus crassifolia''''' <small>Nutt.</small>, the '''Texas Cedar Elm''' or simply '''Cedar Elm''', is a [[deciduous]] tree native to south central [[North America]], mainly in southern and eastern [[Texas]], eastern [[Oklahoma]], [[Arkansas]] and [[Louisiana]], with small populations in western [[Mississippi]], southwest [[Tennessee]] and northwestern [[Florida]] [http://www.efloras.org/object_page.aspx?object_id=7179&flora_id=1]; it also occurs in northeastern [[Mexico]] <ref name=Todzia>Todzia, C. A. & Panero, J. L. (2006). A new species of Ulmus (Ulmaceae) from southern Mexico and a synopsis of the species in Mexico. ''Brittonia'', Vol 50, (3): 346</ref> [http://www.jstor.org/stable/2807778?seq=1]. The tree typically grows well in flat river bottom areas referred to as Cedar Elm Flats. The Cedar Elm is a medium-sized to large [[deciduous]] [[tree]] growing to 24-27 m tall with a rounded crown. The [[leaf|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 flower]]s 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 (fruit)|samara]] 8 - 10 mm long, maturing quickly after the flowering in late fall [http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=233501326] [http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=ulcr]. {{Inc| Ulmus crassifolia, Nutt. Cedar Elm. Tree, attaining 80 ft., with spreading limbs and slender, often pendulous branches, often furnished when older with 2 opposite corky wings: lvs. short-petioled, ovate to ovate-oblong, usually very unequal at the base, obtuse or acute, doubly and obtusely, sometimes almost simply serrate, subcoriaceous, somewhat rough and lustrous above, pubescent beneath, 1-2 in. long: fls. in 3-5-fld. very short racemes; stamens 5-8, little exserted: fr. oval-elliptic, pubescent, notched, 1/3 in. long. Aug. Miss. to Ark. and Texas. —Tender N. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== The tree is highly susceptible to [[Dutch elm disease]] and moderately damaged by Elm Leaf Beetle ''[[Xanthogaleruca luteola]]''. ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
