From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ulmus × hollandica 'Dampieri' is one of a number of cultivars arising from the crossing of the Wych Elm U. glabra with a variety of Field Elm U. minor. Identified as Ulmus campestris var. nuda subvar. fastigiata Dampieri Hort., Vilv. by Wesmael [1], it is a fastigiate, conical tree with upright branches bearing tough, ovate leaves < 8 cm long, densely clustered on short, glabrous shoots. Believed to have originated in continental Europe, it was commonly planted in towns during the latter half of the 19th century [2]. 'Dampieri' (as U. montana fastigiata Dampieri) was known to have been marketed in Poland in the 19th century by the Ulrich nursery [3], Warsaw. A golden form, 'Dampieri Aurea', of much the same shape and size, was also very popular, and is probably the origin of the Golden Elm Ulmus × hollandica 'Wredei' [4]. Like all U. × hollandica hybrids, 'Dampieri' is susceptible to Dutch elm disease.
