Description
The tree is briefly described as 'of Northern origin' and 'somewhat vase-shaped' in the Plumfield Nursery wholesale trade list.[1]
Cultivation
The Plumfield Nursery ceased trading circa 1980; bereft of any known resistance to Dutch elm disease it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation in North America or beyond.
Etymology
The tree was named for the town of Sheyenne in North Dakota, itself named for the Great Plains tribe of Cheyenne (sic).
gollark: Yep, they're in but hidden.
gollark: If they didn't show up, it's probably due to the safe view limit filters, yes.
gollark: Also, tell me the codes, and I'll check if they're in the actual database or not.
gollark: How many views did each have?
gollark: Might annoy the people who pick them up, though.
