"Ulmus glabra" 'Exoniensis', the 'Exeter Elm', was discovered near Exeter, England, in 1826, and was propagated by the Ford nursery in that city Bean, W. J. (1981).

Description

The tree initially has an upright, columnar form, but later develops a large rounded crown and occasionally reaches 17 m in height. It is chiefly distinguished by its contorted leaves, < 110 mm long by 80 mm broad, that occasionally wrap around the branchlets and thus remain attached to the tree well into winter.

Pests and diseases

'Exoniensis' is possessed of a moderate resistance to Dutch elm disease, and consequently often featured in the Dutch elm breeding programme in association with the Field Elm "U. minor" and Himalayan Elm "U. wallichiana" Heybroek, H. (1983). The Dutch elm breeding program. In Sticklen & Sherald (Eds). "Dutch elm disease research" (Ch. 3). Springer Verlag, New York.] .

Cultivation

Once commonly planted in the UK and parts of western Europe, 'Exoniensis' is also known to have been marketed in Poland in the 19th century by the Ulrich nursery Ulrich, C. (1894), "Katalog Drzew i Krezewow, C. Ulrich", Rok 1893-94, Warszawa] , Warsaw, and may still survive in Eastern Europe. It is found in Australia (Ballarat) but is not known to have been introduced to North America.

Hybrid cultivars

'Clusius', 'Columella, 'Dodoens', 'Lobel', 'Plantyn', 'Nanguen' (Lutece), 'Warnoux' (Vada).

'Exoniensis' also indirectly featured in the Italian elm breeding programme as an ancestor of 'Plantyn', which was commonly crossed with clones of the Siberian Elm "Ulmus pumila" to produce the cultivars 'Arno', 'Plinio', and 'San Zanobi' Santini A., Fagnani A., Ferrini F. & Mittempergher L., (2002) 'San Zanobi' and 'Plinio' elm trees.
