Origin | Europe |
The hybrid elm cultivar Ulmus × hollandica 'Dampieri' is one of a number of cultivars arising from the crossing of the Wych Elm U. glabra with a variety of Field Elm U. minor; the tree was originally identified as Ulmus campestris var. nuda subvar. fastigiata Dampieri Hort., Vilv. by Wesmael.[1]
Description
A fastigiate, conical tree with upright branches bearing tough, ovate leaves < 8 cm long, densely clustered on short, glabrous shoots.[2]
- Young Dampier Elm at Morton Arboretum, 2007
Pests and diseases
The tree is susceptible to Dutch elm disease.
Cultivation
Believed to have originated in continental Europe, 'Dampieri' was first marketed in the Low Countries in 1853 [3] and commonly planted in towns during the latter half of the 19th century.[4] 'Dampieri' (as U. montana fastigiata 'Dampieri') was known to have been marketed in Poland in the 19th century by the Ulrich nursery,[5] Warsaw and by the Späth nursery in Berlin. Three specimens supplied by Späth to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 1902 as U. montana fastigiata Dampieri may survive in Edinburgh as it was the practice of the Garden to distribute trees about the city (viz. the Wentworth Elm);[6] the current list of Living Accessions held in the Garden per se does not list the plant.[7]
