Ulmus americana 'Sheyenne'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulmus americana
Cultivar
'Sheyenne'
Origin
Plumfield Nurseries, Fremont, Nebraska, USA

The American Elm Ulmus americana cultivar 'Sheyenne' was listed in the Wholesale Trade List of Plumfield Nursery, Fremont, Nebraska, in 1965, but without description. 'Sheyenne' is not regarded as a valid cultivar by some authorities ^[1]. The Plumfield Nursery ceased trading circa 1980 and it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation. 'Sheyenne' is not known to have been introduced to Europe or Australasia.

[edit] Etymology

The tree was named for the town of Sheyenne in North Dakota, itself named for the Great Plains tribe of Cheyenne (sic).
