Description

Not available.

Pests and diseases

'Reperta' has only a moderate resistance to Dutch elm disease[1].

Cultivation

'Reperta' never entered commerce in North America or Europe owing to its only marginal resistance to DED. A specimen grown at the Botanischer Garten Marburg [1], Marburg, Germany, obtained in 1993, died while still a young plant, apparently unable to tolerate the local climate.

Accessions

None.
