RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Little-Known Elms From China: Landscape Tree Possibilities JF Arboriculture & Urban Forestry (AUF) JO JOA FD International Society of Arboriculture SP 284 OP 288 DO 10.48044/jauf.1995.046 VO 21 IS 6 A1 Ware, George H. YR 1995 UL http://auf.isa-arbor.com/content/21/6/284.abstract AB Elms from China offer good possibilities as urban trees because of good levels of disease resistance, stress tolerance, and aesthetic appeal. Success in obtaining seeds of little-known elm species has made possible the assembling of a large collection of elms at the Morton Arboretum. Assessment of the potential of these elms as urban trees is proceeding. Some of the elms from China are producing flowers, giving opportunities for hybridization. Several recently received species are new to North America, with arboricultural qualities and urban-use potential virtually unknown. Descriptive information has been obtained from a translated monograph on elms of China.
