The Giant huntsman spider is huge, but not deadly to humans. Biggest in the world, the Giant Huntsman Spider was just recently discovered in 2001 in a Cave in Laos.
Because of reduced competition from other trees, it tends to thrive in barren soil containing too much sand, gravel, or clay. Growth and development of young trees is rapid, and their longevity can extend to 50-100 years. Siberian Elm is resistant to Dutch Elm disease, which is often fatal to other elms. It is prone to storm damage from wind, snow, and ice (especially the latter), causing breakage of branches and twigs that can litter the ground underneath the tree.
The cedar elm (Ulmus crassifolia) features a rounded canopy of branches, and the tree possesses the smallest leaves of any of the native elm trees in the United States. The leaves are from 1 to 2 inches long and an inch in width. The cedar elm is a popular shade tree in states such as Texas and Oklahoma, and it grows native there as well as in portions of Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. The tree will grow quickly in moist soil to as high as 80 feet.
