The Golden Elm Ulmus × hollandica Wredei [1] is currently one of the most popular elms on sale in Europe, marketed by many garden centres, on account of its broad, crinkled leaves suffused golden yellow clustered on short shoots. Its small size and fastigiate shape make it suitable for small urban gardens. Believed to be a sport of the cultivar Dampieri Aurea, it originated at the Alt-Gelow Arboretum, near Potsdam, Germany, in 1875. The tree was identified as a cultivar of U. × hollandica by Melville.
The Golden Elm is rarely afflicted by Dutch elm disease, avoiding the attentions of the vector beetles on account of its limited height.
