As elm leaves appear earlier than most deciduous trees and can be seen during this cycle, it became associated with this time of the year.  So ahead of most trees is the elm that its winged seeds can ripen and fall as early as June. The elm tree was associated with communication as its wood was used for making cart wheels.

Elm is a tree associated with communication, and many born in this sign share a love of language.  They are voracious readers, erudite and eloquent, with the ability to express themselves in both a vivid and witty manner.   Elm people are natural communicators and others may find themselves captivated by their tales and anecdotes.  Many are excellent speakers with a natural ability to entertain and encourage others.  Sometimes, however, their sense of humor can be sarcastic or cutting and others may take offence.
