| Genus | Ulmus |
| Cultivar | 'Hertfordensis Latifolia' |
| Origin | England |
The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Hertfordensis Latifolia' was mentioned (as Ulmus campestris hertfordensis latifolia) by Boulger in Gardener's Chronicle II. 12: 298 1879, but without description.[1]
Description[]
Loudon earlier described it as "the broad-leaved Hertfordshire Elm" in Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum, 3: 1396 1838. Considered "probably U. carpinifolia" (:U. minor) by Green.[2] Loudon also distinguished a narrow-leaved Hertfordshire elm, U. 'Hertfordensis Angustifolia'.
Pests and diseases[]
Though susceptible to Dutch Elm Disease, field elms (see Green's conjecture above) and their hybrids produce suckers and usually survive in this form in their area of origin.
Cultivation[]
The Woodland Trust records a small number of mature U. minor surviving in Hertfordshire.[3]
