‘Plantyn’ (Anglicized form of ‘Plantijn’) was one of three Dutch hybrid elms released in 1973. Derived from a crossing of the Dutch hybrids ‘202’ (U. glabra ‘Exoniensis’ × U. wallichiana) and ‘302’ (U. minor ‘1’ × U. minor ’28’) it was to prove of great significance in later developments. A selfed seedling was to become the first Dutch clone to prove effectively immune to disease released in 1989 as ‘Columella’.
