Brandon (elm cultivar)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brandon is a cultivar of the American Elm U. americana, raised by Lacombe Nurseries, Lacombe, Alberta, Canada, before 1969. It may be synonymous with another cultivar from the same source, known as Patmore. Brandon (or Patmore) differs from most American Elms in possessing a smaller, more compact form bearing roughly-toothed foliage. The tree performed very well in government trials [1] in Alberta, Canada, emerging as 'Highly Recommended'. It continues to be abundant in cultivation across the Prairie Provinces. However, Brandon is susceptible to Dutch elm disease (Alberta is free of the disease) and other malaises typical of the American Elm. Brandon remains in cultivation in the city of Bozeman, Montana, where it is prized as an amenity tree by the Forestry Division [2], and in California.
