| Origin | Belgium |
The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Folia Rubra' was listed as Ulmus campestris foliis rubris by Louis de Smet in his catalogue of 1877,[1] and Edouard Pynaert van Geert in the same year who obtained the tree from M. Gaujard of Wetteren, Belgium.[2] An U. campestris fol. rubris Hort. was distributed by the Späth nursery, Berlin, in the 1890s and early 1900s.[3]
Considered "probably Ulmus carpinifolia" (: minor) by Green.[4]
Description
'Folia Rubra' was later described as having small leaves with a reddish-green tinge.[3][5]
Cultivation
No specimens are known to survive. One tree was planted in 1897 as U. campestris fol. rubris at the
Wentworth Elm);[7] the current list of Living Accessions held in the Garden per se does not list the plant.[8] A specimen of U. campestris foliis rubris, obtained from Späth, stood in the Ryston Hall arboretum, Norfolk,[9] in the early 20th century.[10]
