Ulmus Pumila 'Poort Bulten'
''Ulmus pumila'', or 'Poort Bulten,' is a Siberian elm cultivar that hails from Arboretum Poort Bulten in Losser, Netherlands. This tree was for many years mistaken for '' Planera aquatica'' or 'water elm' and commercially propagated under that name. Description The tree has smaller, paler, green leaves than the type, while the trunk has a very rough bark. ''Planera'' and ''Ulmus'' fruit are easily distinguished, so the identity confusion in Losser suggests that the original specimen was slow to produce seed. Pests and diseases See under '' Ulmus pumila''. Cultivation 'Poort Bulten' is not known to have been introduced to North America or Australasia. Putative specimens A young Siberian elm with rough bark and leaves smaller than those of 'Pinnato-ramosa', that remain light green all summer, stands near the entrance to Rocheid Path at the northern end of Arboretum Avenue, Edinburgh (2018).Tree can be seen on Google Streetview, 'above' steps of 1 Reid Terrace, Edinburgh, o ...

Siberian Elm Cultivar
Siberia ( ; rus, Сибирь, r=Sibir', p=sʲɪˈbʲirʲ, a=Ru-Сибирь.ogg) is an extensive geographical region, constituting all of North Asia, from the Ural Mountains in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. It has been a part of Russia since the latter half of the 16th century, after the Russians conquered lands east of the Ural Mountains. Siberia is vast and sparsely populated, covering an area of over , but home to merely one-fifth of Russia's population. Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Omsk are the largest cities in the region. Because Siberia is a geographic and historic region and not a political entity, there is no single precise definition of its territorial borders. Traditionally, Siberia extends eastwards from the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and includes most of the drainage basin of the Arctic Ocean. The river Yenisey divides Siberia into two parts, Western and Eastern. Siberia stretches southwards from the Arctic Ocean to the hills of north-cent ...

Arboretum Poort Bulten
An arboretum (plural: arboreta) in a general sense is a botanical collection composed exclusively of trees of a variety of species. Originally mostly created as a section in a larger garden or park for specimens of mostly non-local species, many modern arboreta are in botanical gardens as living collections of woody plants and is intended at least in part for scientific study. In Latin, an ''arboretum'' is a place planted with trees, not necessarily in this specific sense, and "arboretum" as an English word is first recorded used by John Claudius Loudon in 1833 in '' The Gardener's Magazine'', but the concept was already long-established by then. An arboretum specializing in growing conifers is known as a pinetum. Other specialist arboreta include saliceta ( willows), populeta ( poplar), and querceta ( oaks). Related collections include a fruticetum, from the Latin ''frutex'', meaning ''shrub'', much more often a shrubbery, and a viticetum (from the Latin ''vitis,'' mean ...

Arboretum National Des Barres
The Arboretum national des Barres (35 hectares) is a national arboretum located in Nogent-sur-Vernisson, Loiret, Centre-Val de Loire, France. It is open daily in the warmer months; an admission fee is charged. Closure is planned for the end of year 2018 because subsidy from local and national government is too short. The Domaine des Barres (283 hectares) was purchased in 1821 by Philippe André de Vilmorin for his studies in forestry. At that time it was almost entirely barren of trees, but Vilmorin planted today's extensive forest, primarily of ''Pinus sylvestris'', '' P. laricio'', and '' P. pinaster'', as well as American oaks. In 1866 his heirs sold 67 hectares to the nation, on which was established a forestry school, and in 1873 Constant Gouet, the arboretum's first director, began the geographic collection on 3 hectares. The Vilmorin family continued to be actively involved, particularly Maurice de Vilmorin, whose shrub collection was given to the state in 1921 following h ...
