From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wych Elm U. glabra cultivar Crispa Loudon, the Fernleaf Elm, was a slow-growing tree with narrow, linear to oblanceolate leaves up to 90 mm long by 35 mm broad, distinctively wrinkled and with numerous incised curved teeth. Most commonly a small tree with pendulous branches, it was once to be found across Britain, notably at Kew Gardens.
