| Origin |
Europe |
The Field Elm Ulmus minor sensu latissimo cultivar 'Propendens' is a comparatively rare development, believed to have once been popular in eastern Europe. [2] [1].
Description
Branches wide spreading and weeping, becoming corky when older. Leaves 2-3 cm long.
Cultivation
Probably extinct; no known surviving specimens, although Green [1] treated U. × hollandica 'Rugosa Pendula' as a synonym, and a specimen under that name grows at the Morton Arboretum (Acc. no. 652-62). However, the tree in question more closely resembles the common U. × hollandica (see Gallery).
