Freedom (elm cultivar)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Japanese Elm Ulmus davidiana var. japonica cultivar Freedom is another tough, cold-resistant selection from Canada. It was raised along with Discovery in the 1980s by Dr Wilbert Ronald, of Jeffries Nurseries Ltd. and Rick Durand of Shade Consulting Services, Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. It is resistant to Dutch elm disease and elm leaf beetle.

The tree is not known to be in cultivation in Europe or Australasia.
