 Ulmus 'Dodoens'

The Dutch hybrid cultivar Ulmus 'Dodoens' was derived from a selfed seedling of a crossing of the Exeter Elm "Ulmus" 'Exoniensis' with the Himalayan Elm "Ulmus wallichiana" at the Dorschkamp Research Institute for Forestry & Landscape Planning, Wageningen.The tree was one of several cultivars prepared for release in 1970, but delayed by the outbreak of the second, far more aggressive strain of Dutch elm disease.
