| Origin |
| Moline, Illinois, USA |
The American Elm U. americana Moline is one of the older cultivars, originating as a wild seedling transplanted to Moline in 1903. Propagated from 1916, it was distinguished by its narrow but open form, the older branches ultimately horizontal [1]. In trials [2] at the Morton Arboretum, Illinois, the tree was eschewed by the elm leaf beetle. In earlier field trials at Morton, it was also found to have a rapid growth rate, exceeding 25 ft (7.7 m) in 10 years.
