Origin
Weston, Mass. USA

The American Elm Ulmus americana cultivar (?) 'Burgoyne' was grown at the Arnold Arboretum until removed in 1988. The tree was raised from seeds of the Burgoyne Elm, grown for the town of Weston, Massachusetts, in 1965. The name of the tree was first noted in records of the Plant Sciences Data Center of the American Horticultural Society [1]. It is not known whether the tree remains in cultivation in Weston or elsewhere, and it is not formally recognized as a valid cultivar.
