| Species | Ulmus americana |
| Cultivar | 'Sheyenne' |
| Origin | Plumfield Nurseries, Fremont, Nebraska, US |
The American Elm cultivar Ulmus americana 'Sheyenne' was raised by the Plumfield Nursery, Fremont, Nebraska, and introduced to commerce in 1958.[1] 'Sheyenne' is not regarded as a valid cultivar by some authorities.[2]
Description[]
The tree is briefly described as 'of Northern origin' and 'somewhat vase-shaped' in the Plumfield Nursery wholesale trade list.[1]
Cultivation[]
The Plumfield Nursery ceased trading circa 1980; bereft of any known resistance to Dutch elm disease it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation in North America or beyond.
Etymology[]
The tree was named for the town of Sheyenne in North Dakota, itself named for the Great Plains tribe of Cheyenne (sic).
