Origin
Germany

'Argenteo-Marginata' was first mentioned by Deegen in Deutsch. Mag. Gart. Blumenk, 60, 1869, as Ulmus campestris elegans argenteo-marginatis, and described as having leaves bordered with white. The leaves were described in a later reference as also being very rough above, weakly pubescent below, and measuring < 8 cm long by < 4 cm broad. The tree is possibly a cultivar of U. × hollandica [1]. It is not known whether the tree remains in cultivation.
