Zelkova schneideriana, the Chinese zelkova (a name it shares with other members of its genus), is a species of flowering plant in the family Ulmaceae.[1] It is found in southeastern Tibet, and central and southern China, usually alongside streams.[2][3] 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).[3][4] Although highly resistant to honey fungus, it can still (rarely) be afflicted with Dutch elm disease.[4]
