Ulmus × viminalis Lodd. 'Pulverulenta' is a hybrid cultivar derived from the crossing Ulmus minor Mill. × U. minor 'Plotii' Druce. The tree was first mentioned by Dieck, (Zöschen, Germany) in Haupt-Cat. 1885, p. 82, as U. scabra viminalis pulverulenta Hort., but without description.
Description
Dippel , Hand. Laubh, 2:25, 1892 described it under the same name as having leaves streaked with both white and yellow.[1]
Pests and diseases
'Pulverulenta' is very susceptible to Dutch elm disease.
Cultivation
A possible example of the cultivar grew at Busbridge Lakes, Surrey, in 1963,[2] while another grew in Bedford in the 1990s, but the tree is now possibly extinct in the UK and is not known to remain in cultivation elsewhere.
