The English Elm Ulmus procera cultivar 'Pyramidalis' was first described as U. campestris pyramidalis by Vicary Gibbs [2] in the Gardeners' Chronicle III. 71:227, 1922. This pyramidal variety originated from a sport at Gibbs's Aldenham Estate, Hertfordshire, England circa 1890 [1]. The tree has almost certainly been lost to cultivation.
