Ulmus consists of deciduous trees that can grow to considerable sizes. Their leaves are typically elliptical or ovate and display notable autumn coloration. Following the subtle flowers, these trees produce winged fruits.

Ulmus parvifolia is a broad, deciduous or semi-evergreen tree that can reach a height of around 18 meters. Its foliage consists of small, leathery leaves that are glossy and deep green, measuring up to 8 centimeters in length. In the fall, these leaves transition to shades of yellow or red and typically remain on the tree until midwinter. The tree produces tiny red flowers from late summer through autumn, which are succeeded by winged green fruit approximately 8 millimeters in diameter, appearing in late autumn.

Ulmus plotii is a sizable deciduous tree that can grow up to 30 meters tall. It typically exhibits a slender growth pattern, often featuring a curved leader and short branches adorned with drooping branchlets. The leaves are broad, serrated, and deep green, transitioning to yellow hues in the fall. In spring, the tree produces small red flowers, which are succeeded by clusters of green, winged seeds.

Ulmus procera, commonly referred to as the English elm, is a substantial deciduous tree that can reach heights of up to 35 meters, featuring a broad, rounded canopy. Historically a prominent element of the British landscape, its numbers have dwindled significantly due to Dutch elm disease, making it increasingly rare, primarily found in hedgerows and woodlands across England and Wales. The tree's bark is characterized by a grey-brown hue, displaying a rough and fissured texture, with suckers often emerging from the trunk's base. Its twigs and pointed, oval buds are cloaked in fine reddish hairs. The dark green leaves measure around 4-9 cm in length, exhibiting a sharply double-toothed margin and a coarse, hairy texture on the upper surface. These leaves are typically round to oval in shape, featuring a distinctively asymmetrical base that tapers to a sharp point, and they turn a butter-yellow shade in autumn. Flowering is infrequent, but when it occurs, the small dark pink to red flowers dangle in tassels from February to March. After wind pollination, these flowers develop into small, winged fruits known as samaras.

Ulmus pumila is a substantial, upright deciduous tree that can reach heights of up to 30 meters. Its leaves are rough-textured, oval-shaped, and serrated, displaying a dark green hue that shifts to yellow by late autumn. In early spring, it produces small red flowers, which are succeeded by green, winged fruit.

Ulmus szechuanica is a deciduous tree that can reach heights of approximately 18 meters. It features glossy, dark green, elliptic leaves that can grow up to 10 centimeters in length. In the spring, new leaves appear with a reddish hue and transition to yellow as autumn approaches. This species produces small reddish flowers in late winter or early spring, which are succeeded by winged fruits that are brownish-green in color.
