White elm (Ulmus laevis Pall.) from Căpeni<br />
Abstract<br />
Diana Vasile, Cătălin Cojanu, Katalin Péter<br />
The typical habitat of the white elm is riparian<br />
decidous forest, where it can tolerate prolonged<br />
flooding for longer periods <strong>and</strong> lower temperaturs<br />
than the field elm (U. minor Mill), with wich it is<br />
often associated <strong>and</strong> often confused.. It prefers<br />
altitudes of less than 300 m therefore it is not found<br />
on mountain sites.<br />
Individual trees rarely live longer then 200 years, but<br />
some trees have been recorded as old as 300 – like<br />
Căpeni elm.<br />
This tree has 2,35 m diameter <strong>and</strong> 32 m height, <strong>and</strong> it<br />
was declared in 2011, 29 November, „The king of<br />
elms”.Giant white elm will be declared natural<br />
monument <strong>and</strong> will be registered in National Register<br />
of Exceptional Trees <strong>and</strong> in Gold Book of Exceptional<br />
Trees from Romanian Forests.<br />
Keywords: white elm, tree, forest, natural<br />
monument.<br />
