Description[edit]

The tree was described as having laciniate leaves 3–5 cm long.[1]

Cultivation[edit]

No specimens are known to survive; a specimen at the Ryston Hall [2], Norfolk, arboretum, obtained from the Léon Chenault nursery in Orléans before 1914,[2] was killed by the earlier strain of Dutch elm disease prevalent in the 1930s.
