Cultivar | 'Churchyard' |
Origin | Australia |
'Churchyard' is distinguished by its pendant branch tips and thickly textured foliage. The tree is of moderately rapid growth, ultimately achieving a rounded habit, approximately 10 m high and 10 m wide. The leaves, 5 cm long, turn a golden orange colour in autumn. The samarae are rounded, 9 mm in diameter, and are shed in late autumn.
The species and its cultivars are highly resistant, but not immune, to Dutch elm disease, and unaffected by the Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola.[1]
'Churchyard' is not known to be in cultivation beyond Australia.
