Ulmus glabra ‘Exoniensis’ the ‘Exeter Elm’ was discovered near Exeter England in 1826 and propagated by the Ford nursery in that city. Its fastigiate shape when young upward-curving tracery small samarae and leaves late leaf-flush and late leaf-fall taken with its south-west England provenance suggest a link with the Cornish Elm Ulmus minor subsp. angustifolia which shares these characteristics.
