| Ulmus americana 'Star' | |
| Species: | Ulmus americana |
| Cultivar: | 'Star' |
| Origin: | Plumfield Nurseries, Fremont, Nebraska, US |
The American Elm cultivar Ulmus americana 'Star' was a selection made by the Plumfield Nursery, Fremont, Nebraska, c. 1945.[1]
'Star' was cloned by grafting cuttings from a local tree of compact growth with a much-branched, globose crown,[1] very compact, but ultimately 'not as tall as others' (presumably other American elms).[2]
'Star' was first marketed by the Plumfield Nursery (ceased trading c. 1980) in 1957; without any known resistance to Dutch elm disease, it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation in North America or beyond.[1]
