From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European White Elm Ulmus laevis cultivar 'Colorans' was listed by Kirchner[2], in Petzold[3] & Kirchner, Arb. Muscav. 559, 1864 as U. effusa (: laevis) var. colorans, and described as having leaves turning a rich scarlet red in autumn, not golden yellow [1]. The tree was rarely grown in the UK. There have been trees said to be of this type in Hailsham, East Sussex (regrowth of the type survives on the Cuckoo Trail there, 2006). A single tree with much narrower foliage survives in Brighton, as a street tree (2007).
