Ulmus × hollandica 'Fulva'
Elm cultivar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hybrid elm cultivar Ulmus × hollandica 'Fulva' is one of a number of cultivars arising from the crossing of Wych Elm U. glabra with Field Elm U. minor. Originally raised by Hesse's Nurseries, Weener, Germany, as Ulmus fulva Hort. (i.e. a horticultural tree or cultivar), it was mentioned in Mededeeling, Comite inzake Bestudeering en Bestrijding van de Iepenziekte 10: 9, 1932, but without description.[1][2] In her 1933 paper Christine Buisman listed the plantings in The Hague under Ulmus × hollandica.[3] Hesse's 1933 catalogue contains both U. fulva Hort. and U. fulva Michx..[4]
