Ulmus minor 'Schuurhoek'

The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Schuurhoek' was originally an old, nameless clone cultivated c.1880[1] in the vicinity of Goes, Netherlands, which was taken back into cultivation as 'Schuurhoek' by the van't Westeinde nursery (now 'Kwekerij Westhof') at 's-Heer Abtskerke, Zeeland, in the 1950s.[2] It was identified as U. carpinifolia (:U. minor) by Fontaine (1968),[1] though treated as a cultivar of U. × hollandica by some authorities.

Etymology

The tree is named for the small rural district of Schuurhoek in Zeeland.

This technology is a part of all recent WiFi implementationsAh, so they contributed somewhat to WiFi.
