Ulmus 'Den Haag'
The hybrid elm cultivar ''Ulmus'' 'Den Haag' is a Dutch development derived from a chance crossing of the Siberian Elm cultivar ''Ulmus pumila'' 'Pinnato-ramosa' and the Belgian Elm ''Ulmus × hollandica'' 'Belgica'. S. G. A. Doorenbos (1891-1980), Director of Public Parks in The Hague, finding that seeds he had sown in 1936 from the Zuiderpark 'Pinnato-ramosa' had hybridized with the local 'Belgica', selected six for trials. The best was cloned and grafted on 'Belgica' rootstock as 'Den Haag'; it was planted first in that city, then released to nurseries elsewhere in the Netherlands. The other five were also planted in The Hague. Description The tree is distinguished by its pendulous branches, and its foliage, which is light-green on emergence but turning lime-green and ultimately deep green by midsummer. The leaves are typical of ''U. pumila'' × ''Ulmus × hollandica'', being very unequal at the base. The seed is central in the samara (see 'External links'). File:SHHG Ulmu ...
