A tall, conspicuously pendulous tree, bell-shaped when young, domed when older.
The outer branchlets hang in long 'curtains', showing the 'bones' above the foliage rather like Ulmus glabra 'Horizontalis', with large deeply toothed hybrid leaves, some up to 17 cm (7 in) long.
The upper leaf surface is glossy and very sparsely hairy.
The petiole at <5 mm is shorter than that of Huntingdon Elm.
The bark of mature trees is shallowly fissured, unlike the deeply fissured, often 'latticed' bark of Huntingdon.
The tightly-clustered, apetalous wind-pollinated flowers are bright red, and appear in early spring.
The seed is displaced towards the apex of the samara.
