Trädet är planterat år 1859 utanför gamla fängelset i Visby hamn. Foto av Arne Persson. II Förord Detta examensarbete är skrivet vid Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet, SLU, fakulteten för landskapsplanering, trädgårds- och jordbruksvetenskap inom Landskapsingenjörsprogrammet. Ämnet är landskapsplanering. Jag skulle vilja tacka min handledare Mark Huisman för att ha gett sig tid och stöttat mig igenom hela arbetet. Jag skulle även vilja tacka de som har bidragit med fotografier. III Sammanfattning Jag valde att skriva om ersättare för alm då jag sett almar av olika slag dö bort och försvinna i städer, parker och andra platser med ett snabbt förlopp på grund av almsjukan. Under sommaren 2008 när jag arbetade med att inventera alm och almsjuka på Gotland väcktes frågan om vilket träd som skulle kunna ersätta almen. Sedan den aggressiva formen av almsjuka kom till Sverige under 1980 ± talet har många almar fått ge vika. Almsjukan är en vissningssjukdom vilken uppstår då en svamp täpper till trädets kärlsträngar. Detta bidrar till att trädet inte får någon tillgång till vatten och näring.

Abstract Putative natural hybrids (Ulmus × hollandica) between the Smooth-leaved (Ulmus minor ssp. minor) and the Wych elm (Ulmus glabra) were observed in mixed forests along the rivers and rivulets around the central part of Lithuania. Eleven populations of elms (Ulmus L.) were studied to determine 1) the critical groups of phenotypes indicative for their taxonomic identity, 2) the variability of taxa from contact zones. Three characteristics for the trees and twenty one for their leaf, including nineteen applied by WinFOLIA 2004a programme, were used to describe each sample of the fifty eight and to ascertain the degree of affinity between samples. As a result of this approach, four taxa could be distinguished at the contact zones within elms. Three elm species and hybrids, Ulmus glabra, Ulmus minor, Ulmus laevis, and Ulmus × hollandica, were fairly satisfactorily distinguishable, but there is much overlap between the Wych elm and the Field elm in their characters that can be explained only by the equivalence of their statistically discriminant phenotypic distinctness.

  • Classic Lacebark Elm
    Athena ‘Emer I’ Classic Lacebark Elm Lineage Ulmus parvifolia (Chinese elm, Lacebark elm, Drake elm). Also known as ‘Emerald Isle’. PP7551 Introduced in 1989 (Dave’s Garden, 2011). Tree Form A medium-sized tree with a broad rounded canopy, often with a trunk that forks resulting in a vase shape similar to that of the American elm (Floridata, updated 11/18/2010). Tree size, leaf size and growth rate half of that of the American elm, and they are often planted as a single tree (Warren, 2000). Height: 30 to 40 feet Width: 35 to 45, up to 60 foot wide crown spread (Delmar Learning, undated; UConn, undated)) Foliage Dark green in summer, leathery, almost black; bronze to bronze-brown in fall (Cornell, undated). Leaves simple, 1 to 2 inches long, but half as wide. Ovate, margins rounded to serrate (Delmar Learning, undated). Late deciduous, almost evergreen in mild climates (Floridata, 2010). Culture NA Disease and Insect Information Literature (Dutch elm disease studies, insect resistance assessments, etc.): Resistant to Dutch Elm Disease (DED), phloem necrosis and Elm Leaf Beetles (Delmar Learning, undated). It resists DED and shows very good performance under dry conditions (UConn, undated). Completely immune to Gypsy Moth, and only 10% of the leaf tissue was consumed by Japanese Beetle, the lowest of all the asian elms tested in a no-choice study (Paluch et al., 2006). When the Japanese Beetles were given a choice of species they did not feed on the U. parvifolia at all (Paluch et al., 2006). In an earlier similar study, U. parvifolia was the most resistant of all cultivars and hybrids to the Japanese Beetle (Miller et al., 1999).

  • ELMS for NEBRASKA Justin Evertson & Bob Henrickson, NSA 2011
    THE NEBRASKA STATEWIDE ARBORETUM PRESENTS ELMS FOR NEBRASKA Justin Evertson & Bob Henrickson, NSA 2011. For more plant information, visit arboretum.unl.edu or retreenbraska.unl.edu. Elms are majestic trees with a tall, arching habit that makes them useful for providing shade along streets, parks, and backyards. Elms are also relatively tolerant of poor soils and extreme weather. While Dutch elm disease has eliminated much of the old elm population in Nebraska, many new hybrids and cultivars show promising resistance and are making the elm o.k. to plant again. Elm Species 1. American Elm - Ulmus americana: disease resistant varieties include ‘Princeton’, ‘Jefferson’, ‘Valley Forge’ and ‘New Harmony’; 50-70’x50-70’. Note that ‘Valley Forge’ has poor branch angles and shows a tendency to break apart in wind storms. 2. Japanese Elm - Ulmus davidiana var. japonica (very cold tolerant; rounded habit; glossy green; 45’x 45’) 3. Lacebark Elm - Ulmus parvifolia (distinctive mottled bark; small glossy leaves; 35’x 25’) 4. Rock Elm - Ulmus thomasii (distinctive corky stems; upright habit; DED resistance in west; 50-60’x 30-40’) Elm Hybrids and Cultivars 5. ‘Accolade’ - looks like American elm; Morton Arboretum hybrid of U. japonica and U. wilsoniana; 50’x 40’. 6. ‘Cathedral’ - tough and adaptable; developed in Wisconsin; U. pumila x U. japonica; 40-50’x 40-50’. 7. ‘Discovery’ is a promising U. davidiana cultivar selected from Manitoba Canada; 45-50’x40-45’. 8. ‘Emerald Sunshine’ is a cultivar of Ulmus propinqua known for clean habit and yellow fall color; 30-40’. 9. ‘Frontier’ - smaller, glossy leaves; lacy bark pattern; purple fall color; U.

  • Disease Resistant Elm Selections Bruce R
    RESEARCH LABORATORY TECHNICAL REPORT Disease Resistant Elm Selections Bruce R. Fraedrich, PhD, Plant Pathology Many hybrids and selections of Asian elm that have reliable resistance to Dutch elm disease (DED) are available for landscape planting. In addition to disease resistance, these elms tolerate urban stress and are adapted to a wide range of soil conditions. These selections are suitable for routine planting in areas where they are adapted to the climate. Descriptions in this report are based primarily on performance of trees growing in the arboretum at the Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories in Charlotte, North Carolina (Zone 8). Accolade Elm in Northern Plains States where low temperatures and low rainfall limit successful use of other cultivars. Ulmus davidiana var. japonica ‘Morton’ A selection of Japanese elm, Accolade elm exhibits Commendation Elm strong resistance to DED and is expected to be resistant to elm yellows. This selection is a favored host Ulmus ‘Morton Stalwart’ of Japanese beetle which can cause defoliation in years A hybrid between U. carpinifolia, U. pumila and U. with heavy outbreaks. Accolade grows rapidly and davidiana var. japonica, Commendation has the has a vase shape with a mature height of 60 feet. It has fastest growth of any of the Morton Arboretum been planted extensively in many Midwestern cities introductions. This cultivar has an upright, vase shape (zone 4). Danada Charm (Ulmus ‘Morton Red Tip’) is but has a distinctively wider crown spread than an open pollinated selection from Accolade and has Accolade or Triumph. The leaves are larger than most similar habit and appearance. Danada Charm does hybrid elms and approach the same size as American not grow as rapidly as Accolade or Triumph in elm.

  • Conserving Intraspecific Biodiversity of Forest Trees in France and Europe
    The necessary scientific contribution 26 to defining public policies for biodiversity conservation Conserving intraspecifi c biodiversity of forest trees in France and Europe Using examples drawn from his work on elms and his experience as secretary of the Forest genetic resources commission, Éric Collin illustrates the issues and methods for the conservation of genetic diversity of forest trees in light of climate change. or the general public, the slogan "Stop bio- but the criteria or combinations of criteria used to defi ne diversity erosion" means taking measures an ESU (inter-population differentiation measured using to protect plants and animals whose sur- molecular markers and/or adaptive characters) are simply vival as a species is threatened. The Eura- guidelines for our work, not absolute truths. sian lynx, the common snipe, Hermann's F tortoise and the Aveyron ophrys are thus all listed for protection in the 2010 Biodiversity agenda for ➊ Distribution of the Cornish elm continental France. Forest trees will probably be excluded, (Ulmus stricta Lindley) according to Richens (1983). except perhaps elms, the well known victims of a terrible epidemic, and the Spanish black pine, a rare species of which only a few communities still exist in Languedoc and the eastern Pyrenees. For specialists in forest genetic resources, it is however indispensable and urgent to address the intraspecifi c bio- diversity of forest trees, i.e. the diversity within species. This diversity is not very visible and generally has no name, but it is crucial for species adaptation. It is neces- sary to stop its erosion if we want to avoid endangering species.

Abstract The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Branch of Butterfly Conservation (BC) initiated trials of elm cultivars and species resistant to Dutch Elm Disease (DED) in 2000. The trials are in fulfil- ment of Objective 5 for the White-letter Hairstreak (WLH) in BC’s South Central Regional Action Plan: to evaluate their potential as host plants for the butterfly, now a DEFRA UK Biodiversity Action Plan ‘Priority’ species (no. 945) on account of its increasing scarcity as a consequence of the DED pandemic. This report, originally published in 2010, has been sub- stantially revised in the light of the ‘Princeton’ fiasco. ‘Princeton’, an American Elm cultivar, was widely promoted in the UK without having been tested for resistance to DED in Europe. The loss of many ‘Princeton’ to DED, notably at Highgrove, has prompted the relegation of other American cultivars until such time as their resistance has been proven here. In 2015, the White-letter Hairstreak was found breeding on the DED-resistant cultivars LUTECE and ‘Sapporo Autumn Gold’, The discovery of the WLH on LUTECE is particularly significant as the tree has a very different periodicity from the reputedly favourite native host, Wych elm, suggesting the insect is possessed of a considerable adaptability which could see it breeding on all the high-resistance cultivars featured in this report.

Abstract The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Branch of Butterfly Conservation (BC) initiated trials of elm cultivars and species resistant to Dutch Elm Disease (DED) in 2000, in fulfilment of Objective 5 for the White-letter Hairstreak (WLH) in BC’s South Central Regional Action Plan: to evaluate their potential as host plants for the butterfly, now on the IUCN Red List as ‘in imminent danger of extinction’. This report, originally published in 2010, has been substantially revised in the light of the ‘Princeton’ fiasco. ‘Princeton’, an American Elm cultivar, was widely promoted in the UK without having been tested for resistance by the European method of inoculation. This method is far more invasive, to reflect the much greater vector efficacy of the larger elm bark beetle, Scolytus scolytus, not found in the US. The loss of many ‘Princeton’ elms to DED obliged the relegation of other American cultivars until proven here. In 2015, the White-letter Hairstreak was found breeding on the DED-resistant cultivars LUTECE and ‘Sapporo Autumn Gold’. The discovery of the WLH on LUTECE is particularly significant as the tree has a very different periodicity from the reputedly favourite native host, wych elm, suggesting the insect is possessed of a considerable adaptability which could see it breeding on all the high-resistance cultivars featured in this report.
