Location: In Mediterranean climates, place outdoor in direct sunlight all year round. In colder climates it may lose its leaves, making it a deciduous tree. The leaves will blossom again in Spring.
Watering: Plenty of water during the summer months and moderate in Spring.
Curiosities: Elm wood is very resilient when kept constantly in water and due to this property it is used to build boats, bridges, dams, outdoor stages and general carpentry.
