Ulmus glabra 'Flava'

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulmus glabra
Cultivar
'Flava'
Origin
Germany

The Wych Elm Ulmus glabra cultivar 'Flava' was listed in the Dieck (Zöschen, Germany) catalogue of 1887 as U. scabra (: glabra) f. flava, but without description. The tree should not be confused with Ulmus flava Michx. a probable misspelling of Ulmus fulva, a synonym of U. rubra, the Slippery or Red Elm from North America. It is unlikely 'Flava' remains in cultivation.
