Ulmus Minor 'Ademuz'
Ademuz, discovered in 1996, is a pure Spanish ulmus minor (field elm) of which the English elm is a distinct variety.
Ademuz is considered to be one of the most attractive and resistant elm cultivars with leaf burst happening in late April. The tree is usually monopodial until to a height of five meters and has a medium foliar density.
Ulmus
'wingham'
Wingham, named after the village in the UK where it was successfully trialled, is a complex cultivar, combining four species of elm to create a highly resistant cultivar.
Wingham has a less regular folar formation and has been found to grow up to 1.9 meters per year. Wingham excels in fertile soils near river valleys but is less tolerant in clay and chalk soil.
Ulmus 'nanguen' - LUTECE
LUTECE, is a complex cultivar combining four field elms and a selection of frost resistant Asian elms to produce an elm that is deemed to most closely resemble the native European elms.
The stem of Lutece typically forks at a height of 1-2m and the cultivar is quick growing in moist well drained soil. The leaves of Lutece flush fairly late and are not usually seen before mid May.
Ulmus 'wanoux' - vada
Vada, a cultivar which is one quarter Himalayan and three quarters European elm, has been cultivated to be a narrow tree making it highly suitable for street or avenue planting.
Leafing is late but not as late a Lutece. Vada displays high levels of disease resistance and some of the lowest level of wilting during inoculation trials. The Queen's Elm' planted on the main lawn of Holyrood Palace is an Ulmus Vada.
ULMUS x ‘Sapporo Autumn Gold'
Sapporo, a cultivar which crosses Japanese elm with Siberian elm, is one of the most commercially successful hybrid elm cultivars. It possesses a very high resistance to DED.
In favourable conditions of moist well drained soil, a growth rate of 1m/year can be achieved. Although Sapporo does not resemble, in form, a traditional European elm, the white-letter hairstreak butterfly has been found on them.
Passported and monitored trees
All of our elm trees are supplied with a plant passport (PP). PPs ensure that all of our elms are traced throughout the supply chain and declare compliance with plant health requirements to maintain biosecurity over their lifetime.

trees for the White-letter hairstreak butterfly
The population of WLH has been impacted by Dutch elm disease
The White-Letter Hairstreak is a small butterfly that breeds in elm trees and the numbers of White-Letter Hairstreak have been significantly impacted by Dutch elm disease. We hope our elm trees will help those numbers recover and increase.
