Origin
USA

The Siberian Elm Ulmus pumila cultivar 'Pyramidalis Fiorei' was raised by the Charles Fiorei Nurseries of Prairie View, Illinois, circa 1957. Described as being "strictly pyramidal" in form, it was selected from a tree growing in nursery grounds circa 1950 [1]. The tree is no longer listed by the Fiorei nursery and has probably been lost to cultivation.
