Ulmus glabra 'Tiliaefolia'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulmus glabra
Cultivar
'Tiliaefolia'
Origin
Europe

The Wych Elm Ulmus glabra cultivar 'Tiliaefolia' was first mentioned by Host in Fl. Austr. 1: 329. 1827, as U. tiliaefolia. The tree was said to have ovate leaves, rounded or subcordate and not usually strongly oblique at the base [1]. Reichenbach noted briefly that the tree was grown in Bohemia and Austria [2]

The tree is probably no longer in cultivation. A specimen at the Ryston Hall [2], Norfolk, arboretum, obtained from the Späth nursery in Berlin before 1914 [3], was killed by the earlier strain of Dutch elm disease prevalent in the 1930s.
