Elms are (along with apple and yew trees) probably trees to which I have the strongest emotional attachment. In recent years, the European elm population had a hard time due to the disease - graphiosis. Now hopefully the situation has calmed down a bit. I plant elms as much as I can. Their wood works just as well as a walnut. But elm wood is even denser, more flexible, stronger. Its colors tend to be warmer than walnut ones. Sometimes the elm centers go up to a dark, reddish-brown color. This wood is sometimes called "European mahogany". Very noble material.
