Elm wood is tough and dense and does not become saturated with water. It has been used for floorboards, to make boats and furniture and, before cast-iron was widely available, for water pipes such as those used in English towns of Liverpool and Hull. Coffins were also commonly made of Elm wood and the tree was associated with melancholy and death. The though inner bark was used to make rope and mats.
In Italy, elms were grown in vineyards to shade and protect the vines and to give them structure to climb on. Although the trees produce a large number of seeds, these are often infertile and elm typically reproduces via shoots and saplings which grow from the roots of old trees. Due to this vegetative reproduction, all English Elms growing in the UK are genetically identical-clones of a tree brought by the romans to perhaps to train their vines on and said to be Columella’s ‘Atinian elm’. Columella was a Roman agricultural writer who introduced the Italian Atinian Elm into Spain to use in his vineyards.
