The cultivation of elms in Australia began in the first half of the 19th century, when British settlers imported species and cultivars from their former homelands. Owing to the demise of elms in the northern hemisphere as a result of the Dutch elm disease pandemic, the mature trees in Australia 's parks and gardens are now regarded as amongst ...
Owing to its geographical isolation and effective quarantine enforcement, Australia has so far remained unaffected by DED, as have the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia in western Canada. DED is caused by a microfungus transmitted by two species of Scolytus elm-bark beetles, which act as vectors. The disease affects all species of elms ...
Elms supplied as 'Cornubiensis', St. Stephen's Church, Mittagong, NSW [7] A cultivar supplied as 'Cornubiensis' remains in cultivation in Australia, but Spencer, describing it in Horticultural Flora of South-Eastern Australia (1995), noted that it was not type-'Stricta'. He gave as an example the elms beside St. Stephen's Church, Mittagong, NSW ...
[87] The extent to which elms in Australia have been propagated by seed rather than by cloning is unclear, but Melville believed that there were Ulmus procera × Ulmus minor hybrids present in Victoria. [87] "Chance hybridisation," wrote Spencer, "has resulted in a mix of elms rather different from that in England". [88]
The starting-points for List of elm cultivars, hybrids and hybrid cultivars were fourfold: (1) Green's 'Registration of Cultivar Names in Ulmus ' (1964), [1] based on the contemporary nomenclature of elm species and wild hybrids; (2) Krüssmann's confirmation or correction of cultivar-names in his monumental Handbuch der Laubgehölze (1976); [2] (3) Heybroek's table of Netherlands research ...

The Elms in Newport, Rhode Island, was the Berwind family's summer home. Edward Julius Berwind made his fortune as a coal tycoon who powered railroads during the Gilded Age.
In Australia it was said to be more vigorous than Huntingdon Elm ("the fastest grower of the elms in Sydney except the 'Canadian Giant'"). [3] The Gembrook or Nobelius Nursery 1918 catalogue described 'Canadian Elm' as "a good street tree of rapid growth", listing it separately from Chichester Elm and Huntingdon Elm.
