The European white elm can grow to over 30 m and just as wide. The year-old twigs are brown-green and hairy and the old bark is grey and finely grooved. Its roots form distinct buttressing at the base of the trunk. The glossy dark green leaf is markedly asymmetric although the autumn colours are not very spectacular: usually slightly yellow. The flowers are red and the fruit often has a reddish hue too. Until recently, this inherently European species received little attention until it emerged that Ulmus laevis is only sporadically attacked by Dutch elm disease. The tree is not particularly resistant, but the elm bark beetle, that is responsible for spreading the disease, appears to avoid the tree. A lovely imposing tree for planting in parks and landscapes. © Copyright Boomkwekerij Gebr. Van den Berk B.V. 2021.

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.

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, 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.

Een Nieuwe Toekomst Met Nieuwe Én Oude Iepen Het Geslacht Ulmus: Een Comeback
Een nieuwe toekomst met nieuwe én oude iepen Het geslacht Ulmus: een comeback Iepen behoren tot de sterkste bomen voor stedelijke omstandigheden en open landschappen. Door de iepenziekte is het iepenbestand in de vorige eeuw enorm achteruitgegaan, maar nu is het sortiment met beschikbare resistente cultivars sterk toegenomen en er komen steeds nieuwe bij: het iepensortiment is constant in beweging. In deze special zijn de Europese soorten en de belangrijke cultivars beschreven. Het zijn de Wageningse cultivars die in Nederland het meest worden aangeplant, maar de inheemse fladderiep en een aantal Amerikaanse hybriden zijn sterk in opkomst. Auteur: Leo Goudzwaard 4 www.boomzorg.nl www. boom-in-business.nl Special Iepen Historie Zeker al vanaf de veertiende eeuw werden iepen gekweekt en aangeplant in bossen voor houtproductie. Vanaf de zestiende eeuw plantte men iepen op openbare plaatsen en vanaf de zeventiende eeuw in rijen langs akkers voor hout- productie. In die eeuwen waren iepen in omloop met namen als ‘rode iep’, ‘witte iep’ en ‘steen- olm’, geselecteerd naar de houteigenschappen, en ‘vette olm’, naar de snelle groei. Pas vanaf ca. 1750 werden aan sommige iepenklonen Latijnse namen toegekend1. Er verschenen meer gekweekte vormen met afwijkende bladkleur, kroonvorm en groei. Een chaos aan namen en synoniemen ontstond doordat er geen eendui- digheid was in het onderscheiden van soorten, ondersoorten, variëteiten, vormen en geculti- veerde klonen. De Manual of Cultivated Trees and Shrubs van A. Rehder zorgde in 1927 voor De karakteristieke scheve bladvoet van de iep. een eerste ordening. In de International Code of Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) werden regels voor de naamgeving vastgelegd, waarna het Arnold Arboretum autoriteit kreeg om de juiste cultivarnamen voor iepen vast te stellen.

Suitability of Thirteen Different Host Species for Elm Leaf Beetle, Xanthogaleruca Luteola (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) 1
Suitability of Thirteen Different Host Species for Elm Leaf Beetle, Xanthogaleruca luteola (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) 1 Richard W. Hall, 2 Alden M. Townsend, 3 and Jack H. Barger4 Department of Entomology The Ohio State University 1735 Neil Avenue Columbus, OH 43210 r-------------------Abstract---------------- Thirteen different host species for elm leaf beetle, Xanthogaleruca luteola (Muller), were assayed to determine their relative suitability. Species examined were Ulmus parv1folia Jacq., U. thomasii Sarg., U. laevis Pall., U. wilsoniana Schneid., U. americana L., U. japonica Sarg., U. pumila L., U. rubra Muhl., U. laciniata Mayr., U. glabra Huds., U. carpinifolia Gledisch, Zelkova serrata Makino, and '204,' a hybrid of U. carpinifolia x U. parvifolia. Suitability was determined by feeding adults excised foliage from a tree and measuring mortality and fecundity during a two wk period. Significant differences in beetle mortality and fecundity occurred among hosts. In general, European elms were better hosts than American or Asiatic species. Suitability of a European x Asiatic hybrid fell between that of the parent species. Index words: host plant resistance, insect-plant interactions, Ulm us spp., Zelkova serrata, elm leaf beetle, Xanthogaleruca luteola Introduction Makino, and '204,' a hybrid of V. carpinifolia x V. par The elm leaf beetle (ELB), Xanthogaleruca luteola vifolia were tested for suitability as hosts for ELB. Ten trees (Muller), was introduced into the United States from Europe were examined for each elm except V. rubra and '204' in the 1830's ( 1). Since its introduction, it has become a where a single tree was examined and V. laciniata where major defoliator of elms in urban environments throughout two trees were examined.

Disease-‐Resistant Elms Butterfly Conservation Trials Report 2015
Disease-resistant elms Butterfly Conservation trials report 2015 Andrew Brookes Disease-resistant elm cultivars Butterfly Conservation trials report, 5th revision, 2015 Contents: 1. Abstract 2. Introduction 3. List of trees 4. Performance summary 5. The butterfly 6. The trees described 7. Recommended trees 8. Suppliers 1. Abstract The Hampshire & Isle of Wight Branch of Butterfly Conservation (BC) initiated trials of elm cultivars and species highly resistant to Dutch Elm Disease (DED) in 2000. The trials are 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 a DEFRA UK Biodiversity Action Plan ‘Priority’ species (no. 945) on account of its increasing scarcity as a consequence of DED pandemic. This report, originally published in 2010, has been substantially revised in the light of the ‘Princeton’ fiasco. ‘Princeton’, an American Elm cultivar, was widely pro-moted in the UK without having been tested for resistance to DED in Europe. The loss of many ‘Princeton’ to the disease, notably at Highgrove House, has prompted the relegation of other American cultivars until such time as their resistance has been proven here. This fifth revision also acknowledges the discovery of the White-letter Hairstreak on LUTECE elm planted in 2003 on the Isle of Wight, the first known instance of the butterfly breeding on a modern, highly DED-resistant cultivar. This discovery is hugely significant in demonstrating the insect’s adaptability, able to survive on a tree that has a very different periodicy to its preferred native host, the Wych Elm Ulmus glabra.
