Winged Elm (Ulmus alata) - Description
Ulmus alata, the Winged Elm or Wahoo, is a small- to medium-sized deciduous tree endemic to the woodlands of the southeastern and south-central United States.
Winged Elm (Ulmus alata) - Blooming
The flowers are mostly insignificant, but they result in papery fruits that are very messy and come spring.
Winged Elm (Ulmus alata) - Growth
Deciduous trees. Some species are semi-evergreen trees and shrubs, but they are very rare. Elms do best in full sun or partial shade. They are very large trees with some reaching over 100 ft. tall and can spread just as wide and sometimes wider. Ulmus works best as an ornamental tree. U. x hollandica is appropriate in a shrub border or as a hedge.
Winged Elm (Ulmus alata) - Planting
Propagate from the seed in fall or spring. Sow in containers outdoors. Can also propagate from greenwood cuttings in summer or from suckers in fall. Weeping trees should be budded in summer or grafted in winter.
Winged Elm (Ulmus alata) - Pest
Dutch Elm disease, spread by bark beetles, has devastated American elms. Asiatic elms are the most disease resistant, and thus new breeds have been selected to spread this resistance to American elms. Beyond this disease many other pests are attracted to the trees: beetles, leafhoppers, aphids and scale insects.

Ulmus is native to the woodland thickets and hedgerows of Northern temperate areas.
Winged Elm (Ulmus alata) - Soil and irrigation
