Since elms may hybridize within and between species, seed propagation entails a hybridisation risk. In unfavourable seasons, elm seeds are usually sterile. Elms outside their natural range, such as English elm U. minor 'Atinia' , and elms unable to pollinate because pollen sources are genetically identical, are sterile and are propagated by ...
