| Origin | Plumfield Nurseries, Fremont, Nebraska, USA |
The American Elm Ulmus americana cultivar 'Star' was a selection made by the Plumfield Nursery, Fremont, Nebraska, circa 1945.
'Star' was cloned from a local tree of compact growth, with a much-branched, globose crown [1].
'Star' was first marketed by the Plumfield Nursery (ceased trading circa 1980) in 1957; without any known resistance to Dutch elm disease, it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation in North America or beyond.
