Question

illinois elm trees what species?

Answer 1

rock, red, or siberian

Answer 2

Most people refer to those trees as Chinese Elm, but actually they're Siberian Elm. Both species look very much alike but the main difference is that the Siberian Elm produce seed in the spring while Chinese Elm produce seed in late summer or fall.



Neither species get Dutch Elm disease and the leaking sap is not a symptom of DED. Early symptoms include small, yellowish leaves, often at the top or on one part of the tree but not the other. Later large portions or all of the is dead but often times a few small bushy sprouts spring from the trunk. this is usually the last year the tree is alive.

Answer 3

Ulmus thomasii Sarg.(Rock Elm) fits your discription.

This elm species, also known as the cork elm due to corky ridges on branches, is probably the least typical in form. Rather than branching out into large co-dominant limbs, the trunk remains distinct almost to the top of the tree. The crown is cylindrical in shape and can grow to approximately 25m in height. A relatively rare tree, it occurs mainly in the US Midwest. The leaves are 5-10 cm long and hairy on the underside.
