Origin
Germany

The cultivar 'Marmorata' was identified by Dieck, Zöschen, Germany in Haupt-Cat. 1885 as Ulmus campestris marmorata. Described as beautifully variegated with white, the original tree in Destedter Park, Cremlingen, Lower Saxony, was said to have produced massive variegated suckers. Considered "probably U. carpinifolia" (: minor) by Green [1], it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation.
