Ulmus 'Dodoens' – Ulmus 'Dodoens'

View prices and availability
Medium-sized tree with a crown that starts off slim and ascending and later becomes broad spherical. It is a rapid grower with stiff, ascending and fairly thin branches that bend slightly. It is 15 - 18 m tall, 5 - 6 m broad. In young trees the trunk is smooth and silver-grey but it later becomes darker with black grooves. Young twigs are brown, slightly hairy and have lenticels. Later they become bare and greyish-brown. The leaves are ovoid and the leaf edge is serrated. The surface of the leaves is smooth and glossy dark green. In the autumn they turn yellow. Little sensitive to Dutch elm disease, especially when the tree is cultivated on its own rootstock. 'Dodoens' is very (sea) wind-resistant and can be of excellent use in both urban and rural settings.
