Ulmus × hollandica 'Cinerea' was first listed by George Lindley (father of John Lindley) in 1815, and later by the Andre Leroy [3] Nurseries, Angers, France, in 1856 as Ulmus cinerea. Described as having branches "stunted and tortuous, the upper ascending, the lower more or less pendulous" [1]. A specimen in cultivation at Kew in 1964 was found to be U. × hollandica, but the tree at Wakehurst Place remains listed as U. glabra 'Cinerea' [2]. The cultivar is not known to have been introduced to North America or Australasia.
