Rugosa (Wych elm cultivar)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wych Elm U. glabra cultivar Rugosa was described by Loudon in Arb. Frut. Brit. 3: 1898 as U. montana (: glabra) var. rugosa Masters, having "dark, reddish-brown bark, cracking into short, regular pieces, very like Acer campestris; a tree of spreading growth and moderate size." The tree does not appear to remain in cultivation. Another cultivar of the same name was earlier listed in Audibert's (Tonelle, France) catalogue of 1817 but without description. It was later described by Hartwig & Rumpler as having somewhat folded leaves, and being pyramidal, thick and bushy.
