  • The Elms of Co Cork- a Survey of Species, Varieties and Forms
    IRISH FORESTRY The elms of Co Cork- a survey of species, varieties and forms Gordon L. Mackenthun' Abstract In a survey of the elms in County Cork, Ireland, some 50 single trees, groups of trees and populations were examined. Four main taxa were recognised, these being 'W)'ch elm, Cornish elm, Coritanian elm and Dutch elm plus a number of ambiguous hybrids. While a large overall number of elms were found, the number of mature or even ancient elms is relatively small. Still, there are sufficient numbers of elms in the county to base a future elm protection programme 011. Keywords Ulmus, 'N)'ch elm, field elm, hybrid elm, Dutch elm disease. Introduction Elm taxonomy is known to be notoriously difficult. For the British Isles there are many different concepts, varying between just two elm species and more than one hundred so-called microspecies (Richens 1983, Armstrong 1992, Armstrong and Sell 1996). The main reason for the difficulty with elm taxonomy lies in the fact that the variability within the genus is extreme. This is especially tme for the group of elms we know under the name field elm. As a result, there is no generally accepted system for classification of the elms of the world. Some British researchers claim to host up to eight elm species in their country (Melville 1975, Clapham et a1. 1987, Stace 1997). The approach taken here follows the lines being drawn by Richard H. Richens (1983) who followed a fairly simple strategy. He assumcd that there are just two species of elms prescnt in the British Isles, the native wych elm, Ulmus glabra and the introduced field ehil, U minor.

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).

Abstract: The work deals with the assessment of growth and morphological characteristics of Ulmus laevis Pall., Ulmus glabra Huds., and Ulmus minor Mill. Altogether, 134 indigenous individuals native to various localities of Slovakia were assessed. The results of measuring dendrometric characteristics showed significant differences in height, tree trunk diameter and crown width especially with the tree species Ulmus laevis Pall. which was assessed in four stands with different environmental conditions (dried out and waterlogged sites with various soil types). The largest individuals growth on sites with high soil moisture and bedrock diluvia with tufaceous material. Their height average was 24.4 m and diameter average d1,3 76.5 cm. In the other tree stand (two dry and one moisture and poor soil) were ranged height average from 13.6m to 24.7 m, diameter average d1,3 from 21.0 cm to 25.3 cm.

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.
