Charisma (elm hybrid)

The elm cultivar Charisma was derived from a crossing of two hybrids grown at the Morton Arboretum, Accolade and Vanguard . Charisma is similar in stature to the American Elm, and has glossy, deep-green foliage. It is resistant to Dutch elm disease, and featured in the elm trials [1] conducted by Northern Arizona University in eastern Arizona, where its performance went largely unremarked.
