From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulmus minor subsp. minor
Cultivar
'Schuurhoek'
Origin
Goes, Netherlands

The Smooth-leaved Elm Ulmus minor var. minor cultivar 'Schuurhoek' was an old, nameless clone found in the vicinity of Goes, Netherlands, taken back into cultivation as 'Schuurhoek' by the van't Westeinde nursery (now 'Kwekerij Westhof') at 's-Heer Abtskerke, Zeeland, in the 1950s ^[1]. Described as a tall tree, the trunk covered with light branches over its entire length, and reputedly very resistant to exposure. [2] [3] No resistance to Dutch elm disease has been noted, and the tree is susceptible to verticillium wilt ^[2].

The tree, treated as a cultivar of U. × hollandica by some authorities, is not known to have been introduced to North America or Australasia.
