Schneider's Zelkova

Zelkova schneideriana, the Chinese zelkova, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ulmaceae. It is found in southeastern Tibet, and central and southern China, usually alongside streams. A fast-growing deciduous tree with attractive exfoliating bark, it can reach 35 m (115 ft) tall and have a DBH of 80 cm (31 in). Although highly resistant to honey fungus, it can still (rarely) be afflicted with Dutch elm disease.
