Description

Not available.

Cultivation

The Plumfield Nursery ceased trading circa 1980; bereft of any known resistance to Dutch elm disease it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation in North America or beyond.

Etymology

The tree was named for the town of Sheyenne in North Dakota, itself named for the Great Plains tribe of Cheyenne (sic).
