Ulmus × hollandica 'Dumont'

The hybrid elm cultivar Ulmus × hollandica 'Dumont' was a very vigorous elm raised from a tree discovered by a gardener on the estate of M. Dumont at Tournay, Belgium, c.

[1] The tree had a straight trunk and a narrow regular, pyramidal crown, Elwes likening it to Wheatley Elm in habit.

The tree was once a popular choice for street planting in Belgium and France, notably at Ypres, where Henry collected a specimen for Kew Gardens in 1912,[5] and at Versailles (town, not palace), where it was supplied by Moser's nursery and planted in "peculiar clipped avenues".

[6][7] An U. campestris Dumont, "a vigorous grower" with "large leaves", appeared in the 1909 catalogue of the Bobbink and Atkins nursery, Rutherford, New Jersey.

[8] The Hesse Nursery of Weener, Germany, marketed an Ulmus latifolia Dumont in the 1930s.
