'Sapporo Gold'

Resista
Origin USA

Ulmus 'Sapporo Gold 2' (Resista) is an elm cultivar raised by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), USA, but only registered and released to commerce in Europe.[1]

Description

Very vigorous and rather unruly, maintaining a clean stem has proven difficult, effectively disqualifying 'Sapporo Gold' for street use, consequently it is now promoted primarily as a hedgerow tree. The foliage is similar to 'Sapporo Autumn Gold', which has the same parentage.

Pests and diseases

'Sapporo Gold 2' (Resista) has a high resistance to Dutch elm disease.

Cultivation

The tree was registered in 1990 as 'Sapporo Gold 2' (Resista) and has been marketed by André Briant Jeunes Plants , Saint-Barthélemy-d'Anjou, as a hedging plant ever since.[1]
