Ulmus Tommaso , Rock Elm [ 3 ] или Cork Elm (или Orme Liège в Квебеке ), является уроженцем лиственным деревом , прежде всего, в Среднем Западе Соединенных Штатов . Дерево варьируется от южного Онтарио и Квебека с юга до Теннесси , на запад до северо -восточного Канзаса и на север до Миннесоты . [ 4 ]
Этимология
[ редактировать ]Дерево было названо в 1902 году для Дэвида Томаса, американского инженера -строителя , который впервые назвал и описал дерево в 1831 году как Ulmus racemosa . [ 5 ]
Описание
[ редактировать ]Ulmus Thomasii растет как дерево ростом 15–30 м (50–100 футов) и может жить до 300 лет. Там, где выращивается леса, корона цилиндрическая и вертикальная с короткими ветвями, и она уже, чем у большинства других вяже. [ 6 ] Rock Elm также является необычным среди североамериканских ELM, поскольку он часто является моноподиальным . [ 7 ] Кора . серо-коричневая и глубоко нахмурена в чешуйчатых, сплющенных хребтах Многие старые ветви имеют 3–4 нерегулярных толстых пробковых крыльев. Именно по этой причине скалолочное вяз иногда называют пробковым вяза. [8]
The leaves are 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long and 2–5 cm (3⁄4–2 in) wide, oval to obovate with a round, symmetrical base and acuminate apex.[9] The leaf surface is shiny dark green, turning bright yellow in autumn; the underside is pubescent. The perfect apetalous, wind-pollinated flowers are red-green and appear in racemes up to 40 mm (2 in) long two weeks before the leaves from March to May, depending on the tree's location. The fruit is a broad ovate samara 13–25 mm (1⁄2–31⁄32 in) long covered with fine hair, notched at the tip, and maturing during May or June to form drooping clusters at the leaf bases.[10]
Although U. thomasii is protandrous, levels of self-pollination remain high.[11]

Ecology
[edit]Ulmus thomasii is moderately shade-tolerant.[12] Its preferred habitat is moist but well-drained sandy loam, loam, or silt loam soil, mixed with other hardwoods. However, it also grows on dry uplands, especially on rocky ridges and limestone bluffs.
Pests and diseases
[edit]Like most North American elms, U. thomasii is very susceptible to Dutch elm disease.
Cultivation
[edit]There are no known cultivars of Ulmus thomasii, nor is it known to be any longer in commerce. It appeared in some US nursery catalogues in the early 20th century.[13][14][15] The species is occasionally grown beyond its native range as a specimen tree in botanical gardens and arboreta, for example in northwestern Europe, but not commonly cultivated in northern Europe, being unsuited to the region's more temperate, maritime climate. However, the tree was propagated and marketed in the UK by the Hillier & Sons nursery, Winchester, Hampshire, from 1965 to 1977, during which time 49 were sold.[16][17]
Ulmus thomasii was crossed experimentally with Japanese elm (U. davidiana var. japonica) at the Arnold Arboretum in Massachusetts, but no clones were released to commerce.[11] Seedlings arising from crossings with Siberian elm (U. pumila) at the Lake States Forestry Experimental Station in the 1950s all perished,[18] a classic case of hybrid lethality.[19]
Notable trees
[edit]The US National Champion, measuring 100 ft (30 m) high in 1989, grows in Cass County, Michigan.[20]
Uses
[edit]The wood of the rock elm is the hardest and heaviest of all elms, and where forest-grown remains comparatively free of knots and other defects. It is also very strong and takes a high polish, and consequently was once in great demand in America and Europe for a wide range of uses, notably boatbuilding, furniture, agricultural tools, and musical instruments.
Much of the timber's strength is derived from the tight grain arising from the tree's very slow rate of growth, the trunk typically increasing in diameter by less than 2 mm (3⁄32 in) a year. Over 250 annual growth rings were once counted in a log 24 cm (9+1⁄2 in) square being sawn for gunwales in an English boatyard, while a tree once grown at Kew Gardens, London, attained a height of only 12 m (39 ft) in 50 years.[21]
