The small green leaves have small teeth can turn an attractive yellow in fall, except in its southern range where it is evergreen. Insignificant fall flowers give way to papery samaras. Grows best with full sun and rich well-drained alkaline soils. Can tolerate both dry and poor sites.
Ulmus crassifolia is a host plant for the Mourning Cloak and Question Mark butterflies.
