The wood is the hardest and heaviest of all elms, relatively knot-free, is strong and takes a high polish. It has been used in North America and Europe for shipbuilding, 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. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
