- Comments
- The Asiatic Zelkova serrata is a tree that resembles an elm and is frequently planted as an alternative since it is highly resistant to Dutch Elm Disease. Planted trees are now producing seedlings and saplings in multiple locations, and it appears the species is on a trajectory to become more fully established, if not invasive.
- Habitat
- Much planted and showing increasing signs of spontaneous reproduction in urban areas; fully naturalized in stream valley of South Branch Lucky Run, City of Alexandria.
- Native Status
- Introduced
