The European white elm is particularly common in Europe. The elm is found in floodplains and along river banks and tolerates prolonged flooding phases very well. The wood of the European white elm is rather inferior.

The thorn-elm belongs to the family of elms (Ulmaceae), but not to the genus of elm (Ulmus), but rather is the only member of the genus Hemiptelea. The tree comes from Asia (China / Korea).
