Description

Everclear is distinguished by its fastigiate form, growing 10 m tall by only 2 m wide, with leaves larger and darker than the type .

Pests and diseases

The species and its cultivars are highly resistant, but not immune, to Dutch elm disease, and completely unaffected by the Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola.[2] Damage caused by the Japanese Beetle is relatively slight.[3]

Cultivation

Everclear is reputedly fast growing on well-drained soil. The tree has been selected for inclusion in the National Elm Trial coordinated by Colorado State University. The cultivar was introduced to the UK by Golden Hill Plants, Morden, Kent, in 2010, but discontinued owing to poor sales.

gollark: Ridiculous. All universes are connected to the PotatoCLOUD™ grid.
gollark: Hmm, yes, you were right, I couldn't hack it directly somehow. But I just hacked the multiverse and changed the settings on your universe, so now I can hack it.
gollark: No, of all universes, obviously.
