Zelkova schneideriana, the Chinese zelkova (a name it shares with other members of its genus), is a species of flowering plant in the family Ulmaceae.[1] It is found in southeastern Tibet, and central and southern China, usually alongside streams.[2][3] A fast-growing deciduous tree with attractive exfoliating bark, it can reach 35 m (115 ft) tall and have a DBH of 80 cm (31 in).[3][4] Although highly resistant to honey fungus, it can still (rarely) be afflicted with Dutch elm disease.[4]
Uses
Its timber is high quality and resistant to decay.[3] Fiber can be extracted from the bark and used to make paper and rope.[4] It is used as a street tree in Wuhan, China.[5] When planted in urban settings in North Carolina, individuals showed signs of distress including crown dieback and cracking bark.[4]
