Davey Elm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Davey Elm U. x hollandica Daveyi is an English cultivar of unknown provenance, generally restricted to the valleys of Cornwall. The wide-spreading, irregular branches support pendulous branchlets. The leaves are comparatively small, rarely exceeding 6 cm in length by 5 cm wide, with a glabrous upper surface. Susceptible to Dutch elm disease, no mature trees remain in the wild. A specimen is grown in the NCCPG elm collection [1] held by Brighton & Hove City Council. It is not known to be in cultivation in North America or Australasia.
