Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra)

The larvae feed on Ulmus species, including Ulmus fulva and Ulmus rubra.

The inner bark of the slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), a North American tree species, has long been used as a demulcent, and is still produced commercially for that purpose.

However, given the repeated failure with the two species by research institutions, it is now believed that the "American elm" in question was more likely to have been the red elm, Ulmus rubra.

The hybrid cultivar 'Rosehill' was originally raised by the Rose Hill Nurseries of Kansas City, Missouri, from a selection of Ulmus pumila x Ulmus rubra seedlings made in 1951.

The elm cultivar Ulmus pumila 'Green King' was once believed to have been derived from a crossing of the Siberian Elm Ulmus pumila with the American Red Elm Ulmus rubra.

The American hybrid cultivar Ulmus 'Lincoln' was selected from crossings of the Siberian Elm Ulmus pumila and the Slippery, or Red, Elm Ulmus rubra made in Illinois circa 1958 and patented in 1983.
