Species | Ulmus parvifolia |
Cultivar | 'Burnley Select' |
Origin | Australia |
This budded elm is a narrow-spreading tree with good, upright branch attachment. The original tree in Kyneton, Victoria, is about 12 m tall by 6 m broad. Unlike many other upright selections of Ulmus parvifolia, the tree is reputed to have little included bark.
The species and its cultivars are highly resistant, but not immune, to Dutch elm disease, and unaffected by the elm leaf beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola.[1]
'Burnley Select' is not known to be in cultivation beyond Australia.
