The Field Elm Ulmus minor sensu latissimo cultivar 'Schuurhoek' was originally an old, nameless clone found in the vicinity of Goes, Netherlands, which was taken back into cultivation as 'Schuurhoek' by the van't Westeinde nursery (now 'Kwekerij Westhof') at 's-Heer Abtskerke, Zeeland, in the 1950s [1].

A tall tree, the trunk covered with light branches over its entire length, and reputedly very resistant to exposure. [2] [3]
No resistance to Dutch elm disease has been noted, and the tree is susceptible to Verticillium wilt [2].
The tree, treated as a cultivar of U. × hollandica by some authorities, is not known to have been introduced to North America or Australasia.
The tree is named for the small rural district of Schuurhoek in Zeeland, The Netherlands.
