Origin

U. × hollandica Fjerrestad is one of a number of cultivars arising from the crossing of the Wych Elm U. glabra with a variety of Field Elm U. minor. First mentioned in Meded. Comite. Best. Iepenz. 13: 9, 1933, but without description. The clone is named for the village of Fjärrestad in Skåne between Landskrona and Helsingborg, Sweden. Although no details of the clone's commercial cultivation survive, it is worth noting that all the elms in the conservation area [1] at Fjerrestad have succumbed to Dutch elm disease.
