Ulmus minor 'Rueppellii'
Résumé
Ulmus minor 'Rueppellii' is a Field Elm cultivar said to have been introduced to Europe from Tashkent by the Späth nursery, Berlin. Noted in 1881 as a 'new elm', it was listed in Späth Catalogue 73, p. 124, 1888–89, and in subsequent catalogues, as Ulmus campestris Rueppelli, and later by Krüssmann as a cultivar.
'Rueppellii' was a pyramidal tree with a single stem and numerous ascending branches forming a globose or ovoid crown, much like 'Umbraculifera'. The branches are slightly corky, and the branchlets pubescent, bearing small leaves similar to those of the Cornish Elm, measuring long by wide, the surface likened to that of the wych elm U. glabra.
Most U. minor cultivars are susceptible to Dutch elm disease, but, if not grafted, can survive through root-sucker regrowth. Specimens planted in Poland suffered from European elm scale.
No specimens are known to survive. Three specimens supplied by the Späth nursery to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 1902 as U. campestris 'Rueppelli' may survive in Edinburgh, as it was the practice of the Garden to distribute trees about the city (viz. the Wentworth Elm). The current list of Living Accessions held in the Garden per se does not list the plant. Two specimens were grown at Kew Gardens before the First World War, obtained from the Barbier nursery, France. A specimen obtained from Späth before 1914, and planted in that year, stood in the Ryston Hall arboretum, Norfolk, in the early 20th century. 'Rueppelli' was used in urban plantings in Bydgoszcz, Poland, in the 1920s. It was marketed by the Hesse Nursery of Weener, Germany, and by Dahs, Reuter & Co. of Cologne, in the 1930s.
In North America, one tree was planted as U. campestris 'Rueppelli' in 1897 at the Dominion Arboretum, Ottawa, Canada.
In the US, Ulmus Rueppelli, 'Rueppell's English Elm' (an error probably arising from the equating of U. campestris with English Elm), a "handsome compact form, growing perfectly symmetrical without pruning", appeared in the 1902 catalogue of the Bobbink and Atkins nursery, Rutherford, New Jersey.
