From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Elm Ulmus americana cultivar 'Minneapolis Park' was a selection made by the Minneapolis Park Department as being particularly suited to boulevard planting. The tree has a relatively high number of stiff, upright branches creating a broad pyramidal shape [1]. It was first advertised for sale in 1958, but owing to its susceptibility [2] to Dutch elm disease it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation. However, some authorities regard the tree as identical with Moline, an example of which survives at the Morton Arboretum.
