Tags: Cultivar (Cultivated Variety).
An American hybrid cultivar raised by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) as selection ‘916’ ‘Rebona’ was derived from a crossing of Japanese Elm U. davidiana var. japonica (female parent) with Siberian Elm U. pumila. The tree was registered in 1993 by Conrad Appel KG of Darmstadt (ceased trading 2006) and is a sibling of ‘New Horizon’ (selection ‘917’). In Europe ‘Rebona’ is a ‘Resista’ elm [1] and therefore protected under E U breeders rights (E U council decision 2100/94).
