Hoersholmiensis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulmus minor Hoersholmiensis [1] is a tree with an upright habit and rapid growth. The leaves are lanceolate or narrowly obovate, acuminate at the tip and with a cuneate base, clear green in colour. The cultivar is believed to have originated in the Hørsholm Planteskole, Denmark, circa 1885 and propagated by the Nielsen nursery in Hørsholm. Introduced to the USA, it was crossed and back-crossed there with the Siberian Elm U. pumila to create several popular, disease-resistant cultivars.
