Purpurea (elm cultivar)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wych Elm U. glabra cultivar Purpurea has folded, dark-purple leaves, and is probably synonymous with Atropurpurea raised at Spath's Nursery in Germany. A specimen is grown in the NCCPG elm collection maintained by Brighton & Hove City Council in England.
