Scotch Elm 'Camperdownii', Camperdown Elm
Ulmus glabra ‘Camperdownii’ (Scotch Elm) is a large weeping tree forming a handsome dome of branches that gracefully weep, sometimes almost kissing the ground. Its dark green, sandpapery leaves turn golden-yellow in the fall. A most attractive specimen tree or shade tree. However, Scotch Elm is susceptible to the Dutch Elm disease, which causes wilt and death.
The Elm tree belongs to the Ulmaceae family, which includes Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra), Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia), American Elm (Ulmus Americana), Cedar Elm (Ulmus crassifolia), Siberian Elm (Ulmus pumila), and Japanese Zelkova (Zelkova serrata).
