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]
