elm trees
Shady street plantings
Elm trees are large deciduous trees of the genus Ulmus, valued for their graceful vase-shaped canopy and durable wood.
Once a dominant shade tree in American cities, elms were devastated by Dutch elm disease in the twentieth century.
The plural typically refers to the trees collectively: The old elm trees lined the street.
