| Origin | US |
Ulmus parvifolia 'BSNUPF' (selling name Everclear) is a Chinese Elm cultivar, cloned from a chance seedling at Bold Spring Nursery, Bold Spring, Georgia. Patented in 2007,[1] it was raised by John Barbour of Athena Trees, Monroe, Georgia.[2]
Description
[edit]Everclear is distinguished by its fastigiate form, growing 10 metres (33 ft) tall by only 2 m (6.6 ft) wide, with leaves larger and darker than the type [2].
Pests and diseases
[edit]The species and its cultivars are highly resistant, but not immune, to Dutch elm disease, and completely unaffected by the Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola.[3] Damage caused by the Japanese Beetle is relatively slight.[4]
Cultivation
[edit]Everclear is reputedly fast growing on well-drained soil. The tree has been selected for inclusion in the National Elm Trial coordinated by Colorado State University. An avenue of some twenty Everclear elms stands before Matthews Hall, Purdue University (lining North University Street), West Lafayette, Indiana.[5][6] The cultivar was introduced to the UK by Golden Hill Plants, Morden, Kent, in 2010, but discontinued owing to poor sales.
