Origin | UK |
The English Elm Ulmus procera cultivar 'Pyramidalis' was first described as U. campestris pyramidalis by Vicary Gibbs [2] in the Gardeners' Chronicle III. 71:227, 1922. 'Pyramidalis' originated from a sport at Gibbs's Aldenham Estate, Hertfordshire, England circa 1890 [1].
As implied by the epithet, the cultivar was pyramidal in shape.
Probably extinct.
