''Ulmus minor'' 'Viminalis Marginata'
| Ulmus minor cultivar | |
|---|---|
| Hybrid parentage | U. minor × U. minor 'Plotii' |
| Cultivar | 'Marginata' |
| Origin | Europe |
The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Viminalis Marginata', probably a variegated form of Ulmus minor 'Viminalis',[1] was first listed as Ulmus campestris var. viminalis marginata Hort. by Kirchner in 1864.[2] Both Van Houtte and Späth marketed an U. campestris viminalis marginata in the late 19th century.[3][4] Nursery, arboretum, and herbarium specimens confirm that the cultivar U. minor 'Viminalis Variegata' was sometimes regarded as synonymous with 'Viminalis Marginata' (see 'Viminalis Variegata' page).
Description
'Marginata' is distinguished by its leaves which have mottled grey and white margins.[5][6]
Pests and diseases
The tree is very susceptible to Dutch elm disease.
Cultivation
Several specimens survive in the UK and Australia.
For the specimens supplied by the Späth nursery, Berlin, to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 1902 as U. campestris viminalis marginata, see 'Pulverulenta'.
