Description

'Ansaloni' is a quick-growing variety with a compact crown, holding its leaves well into autumn.[2]

Pests and diseases

See under Ulmus pumila.

Cultivation

The tree was sold mostly to winegrowers in the Po valley, [3] who were still using traditional Roman cultivation methods after the Second World War, but the advent of mechanization in the 1950s brought about the tree's decline, and it had been withdrawn from commerce by the 1970s. One specimen is known to remain in cultivation in North America (see Accessions).
