ULMUS 'DUMONT'

''Ulmus × hollandica'' ''Dumont'' was a very vigorous cultivar, having a straight trunk and a narrow regular, pyramidal crown; the leaves being somewhat smaller than 'Belgica'. The tree was discovered by a gardener on the estate of M. Dumont at Tournay, Belgium, circa 1865. The tree became a popular choice for street planting in Belgium and France, notably at Versailles (town, not palace), but is not known to remain cultivation.
