Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.

Ulmus 'Paul King' edit

You're right; just have a subliminal contempt for / suspicion of a tree that's effectively claimed to be DED resistant, but which has never been scientifically tested. I'm currently evaluating three Spanish U. minor clones which #have been proven to be very resistant (on a par with 'Sapporo A G') to DED, so who knows? Regards, Ptelea (talk) 16:36, 5 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Had the sizes / prices started somewhat lower, I'd have bought a few and sent them to Cemagref France for inoculation with the pathogen, as I have done with other 'promising' native trees, such as the Gittisham wych elm (no resistance whatsoever, all died within two weeks). So far, only an unknown hybrid growing at what was Vicary Gibbs' Aldenham Estate has shewn any promise, with a resistance of about 3 out of 5. Regards, Ptelea (talk) 15:38, 9 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Edinburgh elm hybrid edit

I've been copied photos of a putative laevis x glabra hybrid, growing in a cemetery in or near Edinburgh. Do you have any knowledge of it? Would much appreciate details. Regards, Ptelea (talk) 09:53, 1 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

  • Many thanks, very (as) interesting, but I'm not sure its the same tree. The photo I have is of a single tree definitely in a churchyard / cemetery. The close up of the leaves shows a very oblique base, unmistakably glabra-like. Who would have been hybridizing these trees? Regards,Ptelea (talk) 16:30, 1 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
    • Regret I don't know which cemetery; the only clue in one of the photos is that the site is above a slope, as the limited view behind the tree only features rooftops. The buttressing at the base of the trunk obviously suggests laevis, meanwhile the bases of the leaves are so asymmetric as can only suggest glabra influence; the margins are simply serrate. I don't know the city very well, but from Google Earth and Streetview, Warriston is a possibility. The ID was made by the city's tree officer, and the trunk bears a blue circular tag, but the focus isn't sharp enough to read it. Regards, Ptelea (talk) 13:06, 2 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
      • I've since learnt the tree is in the North Merchiston Cemetery, and that the ID was in fact made by an amateur pteleologist based in Brighton. My contact at the RBGE is very sceptical about it, considering it just another form of laevis. Accordingly, I'm not investigating it further. A false alarm, but thanks for your input anyway.

Probable elm extinctions edit

Agreed, such postulations are out of place without a cited reference. Not too sure about your Brighton cv. IDs such as Muscaviensis, doubtless the opinion of the resident elm expert there. Regards, Ptelea (talk) 16:08, 4 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

U. minor 'Suberosa'? edit

Regret I'm with Richens on this one. I have found such corky trees randomly distributed across the countryside of southern France, the most extreme near the Mont St Victoire visitor centre on the approach to Le Tholonet. I started my elm collection with the gift of seeds from openly-pollinated 'Accolades' sent by the Morton Arb.; the variation in form and foliage has been remarkable with, in one case only, a tree with branching festooned with broad corky wings throughout. Ergo, I'm inclined to believe this minor form is just random, an accident of genetic pairing, and not necessarily clones of cultivated trees although I'm sure they exist. I have sampled the seeds of the Goodyer Elm over the years, but none ever germinated, reinforcing the notion this tree has only ever reproduced vegetatively, and thus wherever cloned by man has qualified as a true cultivar. 'Ordinary' Field Elm, on the other hand, particularly in southern Europe, can produce vast quantities of viable seed, and with it thousands of genetic variants, some producing corky wings. As ever, the definitive answer would seem to lie with DNA analysis, but Forest Research here is now declining such work with Ulmus. Regards, Ptelea (talk) 14:22, 22 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

'Coritana' a bridge too far, a taxon never accepted even in its 'day' From the Plant List: Ulmus coritana Melville is an unresolved name. The record derives from WCSP (in review) (data supplied on 2012-03-26) which does not establish this name either as an accepted name or as a synonym with original publication details: J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 53: 263 1949. From Bean: This controversial species was described by Dr Melville in 1949 (Journ. Linn. Soc. (Bot.), Vol. 53, pp. 263-71). As interpreted by him it has a wide range in central England, from the Thames to the Trent and from Warwick to E. Anglia, the var. rotundifolia being more southern in distribution and grading northward into var. angustifolia. It is not recognised as distinct from U. carpinifolia in the second edition of Clapham, Tutin and Warburg, Flora of the British Isles, and is considered by R. H. Richens to be ‘an artificial aggregate’.

Never had much faith in Melville's taxonomy. In the words of my French counterpart: Melville saw hybrids everywhere. Not that I'm suggesting coritana is. Not sure about boissieri, we really know so little about it. I tried for years to get a translation of Grudzinskaya'a paper but failed, and the tree, apparently endemic to the Zagros mountains, has become confused with street elms in Isfahan.

U. minor 'Variegata' etc. edit

As the names have already been used in the past, the moves reverting to former names cannot be accepted, and therefore require the services of an administrator to sort out. Regards, Ptelea (talk) 15:20, 9 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

U. minor 'Variegata' was changed to U. minor subsp. minor 'Variegata', and as such can't be reverted via the 'Move' facility. Regards

Chichester Elm edit

You're right; its an anomaly that's always bothered me, but blame Loudon, he applied the taxon to two different trees.

March 2018 edit

Please carefully read all that is below, to ensure that your change does not get reverted.

Greetings, my name is !dave, and I noticed you that you added or changed information  to South Gyle, but you did not supply a reliable source to verify what you wrote, or you did not supply a source at all. Instead of immediately reverting your changes, I am giving you 24 hours to supply a reliable source for your change. I will revert after this point. Thank you for your understanding.

Confused? Click 'Expand' on the boxes below to explain more!

What do I mean by reliable source?

Simply explained, a reliable source is known for good fact-checking. The source can be trusted. Reliable sources are therefore not blogs or "self-published sources" (see WP:SPS for explanation), tabloid newspapers or anything that doesn't seem too interested in providing factual information.

How do I add a reference?
For a standard web reference

Next to what you wrote, insert <ref>{{cite web|url=INSERT THE URL HERE|title=INSERT THE PAGE TITLE HERE|accessdate=ENTER TODAY'S FULL DATE|work=INSERT THE WEBSITE'S NAME}}</ref>

The above is the basic information required in a reference. For more parameters, including the date of the work and author, see Template:Cite web.

This will appear like:

Arthur always likes to eat cheese, but not Andrew.[1]
