Product details
Ulmus lutece, or Nanguen, is a clone with a complex parentage that includes Ulmus minor, Ulmus galbra, Ulmus Exoniensis, and Ulmus wallichiana in its genetic makeup.
Originally a Dutch clone, it was discarded for the unfounded fear that it was susceptible to Coral Spot fungus. However, the French adopted it instead, planting extensively in Paris and surrounding cities. It rates 5 out of 5 on Dutch field tests regarding Dutch Elm Disease.
Green leaves are late to emerge in May and turn yellow in autumn, Ulmus lutece is a tough tree and tolerates urban pollution as well as coastal locations.
Ulmus lutece is very temperature-hardy and has been successfully planted in Scandinavia. Most importantly, it underwent 20 years of field trials in France before being released for general planting in 2002.
A very good proven track record!
Mature height: 17-22m
