Ulmus americana
Cultivar'Star'
OriginPlumfield Nurseries, Fremont, Nebraska, USA

The American Elm cultivar Ulmus americana 'Star' was a selection made by the Plumfield Nursery, Fremont, Nebraska, c. 1945.[1]

Description

'Star' was cloned by grafting cuttings from a local tree of compact growth, with a much-branched, globose crown.[1]

Cultivation

'Star' was first marketed by the Plumfield Nursery (ceased trading c. 1980) in 1957; without any known resistance to Dutch elm disease, it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation in North America or beyond.[1]
