Species	Ulmus americana
Cultivar	'Star'
Origin	Plumfield Nurseries, Fremont, Nebraska, US

The American elm cultivar Ulmus americana 'Star' was a selection made by the Plumfield Nursery, Fremont, Nebraska, c. 1945.^[1]

Description

'Star' was cloned by grafting cuttings from a local tree of compact growth with a much-branched, globose crown,^[1] very compact, but ultimately 'not as tall as others' (presumably other American elms).^[2]

Cultivation

'Star' was first marketed by the Plumfield Nursery (ceased trading c. 1980) in 1957; without any known resistance to Dutch elm disease, it is unlikely the tree remains in cultivation in North America or beyond.^[1]
