Interesting Notes about Lacebark Elm:

Lacebark Elm is a large tree that adapts very well in both wet or dry sites which speaks highly of its durability.  What adds to its toughness is its excellent resistance to Dutch Elm Disease and the elm leaf beetle.  This tree has a nice vase-like habit and the mottled, exfoliating bark is a beautiful and ornamental feature.
