In autumn, they turn shades of yellow or bronze. Distribution: The native range of Ulmus davidiana includes China, Japan, Korea, and parts of Russia. It can be found growing in a variety of habitats, including forests, riverbanks, and mountain slopes. Cold Tolerance: Japanese Elm is known for its excellent cold tolerance. It can withstand harsh winter conditions and is often planted in regions with cold climates. Disease Resistance: One of the significant advantages of Ulmus davidiana is its resistance to Dutch elm disease (DED), a devastating fungal disease that has affected many elm species wor
