Jacqueline Hillier (elm hybrid)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacqueline Hillier is a cultivar of the natural hybrid Ulmus × elegantissima Horwood found in the Midlands, England. It makes a small to medium-sized suckering shrub of dense habit, bearing small, double-toothed scabrid leaves 25 mm to 35 mm long on densely-hairy twigs; resistance to Dutch elm disease is not known. The cultivar originated from a specimen found in a Birmingham, England garden circa 1960. It is commonly found in cultivation in the USA and Europe, where it is considered particularly suitable for low hedges, or even bonsai.
