Japanese Elm

Ulmus davidiana var. japonica Rehder, the Japanese Elm, is one of the larger and more graceful Asiatic elms, endemic to much of continental north-east Asia and Japan.

The tree commonly grows to over 30 m tall, with a broad, rounded crown comprising pendent branches, although Augustine Henry described one tree at Iwamigawa, Hokkaido, railway station as being 34 m tall, with an untypically clean stem to a height of approximately 15 m.
