Elm cultivar
The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Planeroides' [:Planera-like elm] was described by Carrière in the Revue horticole, 1875.[1] It was considered "possibly Ulmus carpinifolia" [:U. minor ] by Green.[2]
Not to be confused with Späth's U. montana viminalis which, though "also distributed under the name Planera aquatica",[3] has osier-like leaves, Planera being the old name for Zelkova, a close relative of elm with willow-like leaves.[4]
Description
The tree was described as having leaves like Planera aquatica.[2]
Pests and diseases
Most field elm clones are susceptible to Dutch elm disease.
Cultivation
No specimens are known to survive.
Putative specimen
A pruned elm with Planera-like leaves, possibly the cultivar 'Planeroides', stands in Stanford Avenue, Brighton.[5]
