Ulmus ‘Wentworthii’ commonly known as the Wentworth Elm is a cultivar with a distinctive weeping habit which appears to have been introduced to cultivation towards the end of the 19th century. A putative hybrid little is known of its history; indeed the tree is not mentioned in either Elwes & Henry’s or Bean’s classic works on British trees. The earliest known references are German and Dutch the first by de Vos in 1890.
