From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ulmus × hollandica 'Tricolor' was first listed as U. suberosa tricolor by C. de Vos [2] in Woordenbeck 137, 1867. Described as beautifully silver-variegated, with the leaves near the tips of growing branches coloured red. The tree was not a rapid grower, however [1]. The tree was known to have been marketed (as U. montana 'Tricolor') in Poland in the 19th century by the Ulrich nursery [2], Warsaw, and may still survive in Eastern Europe; it is not known to have been introduced to North America or Australasia.
