Ulmus laevis 'Helena'

The European White Elm cultivar Ulmus laevis 'Helena' is a Dutch introduction in commerce circa 2010 at the Boomkwekerij s'Herenland at Randwijk (PBR applied for: EU 20142249).^[1] The cultivar was cloned from a tree planted as one of a line of 17 White Elms at Eibergen circa 1900, which developed a straight central leader.

The tree is described as having upright, uniform, growth, producing yellow leaves in autumn. At age 100, 'Helena' should be approximately 22 m high, with a crown diameter of about 12 m.^[1]

'Helena' is judged 'sustainable and durable in public parks',^[1] but has not been planted beyond the Netherlands (2016).
