Ulmus 'Rufa'

The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Rufa' [:rufous-coloured] was listed as U. campestris f. rufa by Georg Dieck, of Zöschen, Germany, without description in Haupt-catalog der Obst- und gehölzbaumschulen des ritterguts Zöschen bei Merseburg, Nachtrag I (1887),[1] though it had been in cultivation for some decades before this date.[2] It was considered "possibly Ulmus carpinifolia" (: Ulmus minor) by Green.[3]

Description

Not available. An 1834 Paris herbarium specimen shows near-orbicular leaves like those of English elm (see 'External links').

Cultivation

Ulmus rufa, 'European red elm', was marketed by Prince's nursery of Flushing, New York from the 1840s.[4] No specimens are known to survive.

gollark: They have lots of those redundantly.
gollark: I imagine it would still *mostly* work for a while, and people could migrate off.
gollark: It's not as if much of the internet *physically* runs through one wire or something, that would be ridiculous, it's a big internet.
gollark: I mean, the closest you would get is... maybe wiping out some important root signing key?
gollark: I run a bunch of random Discord bots and web APIs so there are something like ten mildly important things there.
