'Ansaloni' is a quick-growing variety with a compact crown, holding its leaves well into autumn.[1]
See under Ulmus pumila.
The tree was sold mostly to winegrowers in the Po valley still using traditional Roman cultivation methods after the Second World War, but the advent of mechanization in the 1950s brought about the tree's decline, and it had been withdrawn from commerce by the 1970s. Only one specimen, in North America, is known to remain in cultivation.
