Ulmus minor 'Atinia Pyramidalis'
The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Atinia Pyramidalis', was first described as U. campestris pyramidalis by Vicary Gibbs[1] in the Gardeners' Chronicle (1922).[2] 'Pyramidalis' reportedly originated from a bud sport of "common elm" (English Elm) at Gibbs' Aldenham estate, Hertfordshire, England, c. 1890.[3]
