Ulmus 'Lobel' – Ulmus 'Lobel'

View prices and availability
A Dutch cultivar from a cross between two seedlings in which U. glabra 'Exoniensis', U. hollandica 'Bea Schwarz' and U. wallichiana (from the Himalayas) were brought together. Forms a vertically ascending tree with lateral branches growing out at an angle. In its young years it is narrow pyramidal but later becomes broad pyramidal. Breadth 4 to 5 m. It is a vigorous grower forming a very dense crown with short branches growing close together. The fairly small rough leaves are dull dark green with dense veins and a double-serrated edge. They are bronze coloured when they emerge. They remain on the tree for a long time, often until late November. The light reddish-brown leaf buds are a remarkable feature. 'Lobel' is reasonably resistant to Dutch elm disease. Because it is very resistant to sea wind it is eminently suitable for use in the coastal provinces.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
