The wood, also known as elm, has only been available to a limited extent for some time. Since the 20s, a worldwide die-off of elm trees has been registered. The cause of this so-called "elm disease" is a disease caused by fungi that is spread by a beetle. Due to the insufficient resistance to fungi, the use of elm wood outdoors without appropriate protective treatment is not recommended.
