Origin
Europe

The Wych Elm Ulmus glabra cultivar 'Corylifolia Purpurea' was described by Pynaert [2] in Bull. Arb. Flor. Cult. Potag. 1879 as having large purplish leaves resembling those of Hazel in shape. The tree was raised from seed of 'Purpurea' [1]. A specimen at the Ryston Hall [3], Norfolk, arboretum, obtained from the Späth nursery in Berlin before 1914 [2], was killed by the earlier strain of Dutch elm disease prevalent in the 1930s.

'Corylfolia Purpurea' is not known to survive in cultivation in Europe or Australasia.
