Tags: Cultivar (Cultivated Variety).

The Chichester Elm is the original Ulmus × hollandica ‘Vegeta’ but suffered confusion with the later Huntingdon Elm hybrid by Loudon to which he also accorded the epithet ‘Vegeta’ as he found the two cultivars indistinguishable. The cultivar was cloned at the beginning of the 18th century from a tree growing at Chichester Hall Rawreth near Danbury in Essex England then the home of Thomas Holt White FRS brother of the naturalist Gilbert White.
