Details
Cultivar	'Minneapolis Park'
Origin	Minneapolis, USA

The American Elm Ulmus americana cultivar 'Minneapolis Park' was a selection made by the Minneapolis Park Department as being particularly suited to boulevard planting.

Description

The tree has a relatively high number of stiff, upright branches creating a broad pyramidal shape ^[1].

Pests and diseases

'Minneapolis Park' was ultimately found to be very susceptible to Dutch elm disease.

Cultivation

First advertised for sale in 1958, but owing to its susceptibility [2] to disease it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation. However, some authorities regard the tree as identical to Moline, an example of which survives at the Morton Arboretum.
