Scope note
Species of tall, fast-growing European elm, found mainly in England and Wales; before the advent of Dutch elm disease, it was one of the most common deciduous trees in Europe. It probably originated in Italy or Turkey: a survey of genetic diversity in Spain, Italy and Britain shows that all of this species are genetically identical clones of a single tree, probably brought to the British Isles by Romans for the purpose of supporting and training vines.
