From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cultivar 'Variegata Nova' was first listed by Nicholson in Kew Hand-List Trees and Shrubs, 2: 137, 1896, as Ulmus campestris var. variegata nova, but without description. Henry [1] states that the tree bears "leaves often much reduced in size, and entirely whitish. Occasionally, branches are produced bearing leaves of normal size with variegation confined to the margin, and one or two branches with green leaves". The tree was considered "possibly U. carpinifolia" (: minor) by Green [2], and is unlikely to remain in cultivation.
