Ulmus × hollandica 'Wredei' [2], commonly known as the Golden Elm is currently one of the most popular elms on sale in Europe on account of its broad, crinkled leaves suffused golden yellow clustered on short shoots. Its small size and fastigiate shape make it particularly suitable for small urban gardens. Believed to be a sport of the cultivar 'Dampieri Aurea', it originated at the Alt-Gelow Arboretum, near Potsdam, Germany, in 1875 [1] [2]. The tree was identified as a cultivar of U. × hollandica by Melville [3].
