Elm (genus Ulmus) is a deciduous and semi-deciduous tree comprising the genus Ulmus in the plant family Ulmaceae. There are dozens of species found in temperate and tropical-montane regions of North America and Eurasia, ranging southward into Indonesia.[4]

Wandlore[]

Elm wands preferred owners with presence, magical dexterity and a certain native dignity. Of all wand woods, elm produced the fewest accidents, the least foolish errors, and the most elegant charms and spells; these are sophisticated wands, capable of highly advanced magic in the right hands, which made it highly desirable to those who espoused pure-blood philosophy.[3]

The unfounded belief that only pure-bloods can produce magic from elm wands was undoubtedly started by some elm wand owner seeking to prove his own blood credentials, Garrick Ollivander has known perfect matches of elm wands who were Muggle-borns.
