Ulmus 'Hamburg'

The hybrid elm cultivar Ulmus 'Hamburg' was originally raised by the Plumfield Nurseries, Fremont, Nebraska, circa 1932, after its discovery by Mr. Lloyd Moffet in a bed of Siberian Elm Ulmus pumila seedlings from Tekamah. It was later marketed by Interstate Nurseries, Hamburg, Iowa, in 1948, and claimed to be a hybrid of Ulmus pumila (female parent) and Ulmus americana. However it is now considered more likely that Ulmus rubra was the male parent.[1]

gollark: You would probably need more than just brain-level tweaks for that, to provide the data in the first place.
gollark: If you did have a top-down-designed body/brain system, you could have useful features like an immune system which actually provides debug information instead of just mysteriously having you get a fever.
