Huntingdon Elm
Encyclopedia
Ulmus × hollandica Mill. 'Vegeta' Lindley , sometimes known as the Huntingdon Elm, is an old English cultivar
raised at Brampton
, near Huntingdon
by nurserymen Wood & Ingram in 1746, allegedly from seed collected from an Ulmus × hollandica
hybrid at nearby Hinchingbrooke Park. The tree was given the epithet
'Vegeta' by Loudon
, a name previously accorded the Chichester Elm
by Donn
, as Loudon considered the two trees identical. The latter is indeed a similar cultivar, but raised much earlier in the 18th century from a tree growing at Chichester Hall, Rawreth
in Essex
.
, Huntingdon Elms commonly grow to over 35 m, bearing long, straight branches ascending from a short bole < 4 m in height; the bole of mature trees has distinctive lattice-patterned bark-ridges which serve to distinguish the tree from that other popular × hollandica cultivar 'Major', yclept 'Dutch Elm', whose bark breaks into small shallow flakes. The glossy, oval leaves have petioles
>10 mm long, which serve to distinguish the tree from the Wych Elm
, and are very distinctly asymmetric at the base, < 12 cm long by < 7.5 cm broad contracting to an acuminate
apex. The leaves are borne on smooth branchlets that never feature corky wings. The tightly-clustered apetalous flowers are bright red, and appear in early spring. The samarae
are obovate, < 25 mm long.
Elwes & Henry and Bean attested that the Huntingdon Elm suckers freely, but other writers have stated that it does not sucker at all. This contradiction is almost certainly owing to methods of propagation: higher class nurseries grafted cuttings onto Wych Elm stock, which would not produce suckers, whilst others simply rooted the cuttings, which would. A comparatively high percentage of the seed is usually viable.
, was for a time the largest elm known in Britain before it was blown down in 1911. It measured 44 m tall, its trunk at breast height 2.6 m in diameter. However, its calculated age would place its planting long before the introduction of the Huntingdon Elm, and the tree in question was more likely a Chichester Elm
.
'Vegeta' was planted in large numbers across Amsterdam
after the Second World War as a replacement for 'Belgica' (Belgian Elm), and was itself eventually replaced by the Dutch cultivar 'Dodoens'
http://www.amsterdamsebomen.nl. 'Vegeta' is also known to have been introduced to Eastern Europe
during the 19th century; it was marketed (as U. montana vegeta) in Poland by the Ulrich nursery, Warsaw
, and survives in several arboreta.
Introduced to Australasia

were described as "magnificent... with stately crowns and spreading, drooping branches".
, Hertfordshire
, which closed in the 1980s. The tree has leaves of similar size to those of the Huntingdon Elm, but slightly oblong
in shape, and often either revolute or convolute. The weeping elm once grown at Kew
as 'Wentworth Pendula' was identified by Melville
as U. × vegeta. The proximity of the Actons tree to the Rivers Nursery would seem more than coincidence, as the nursery was known to have sold seedlings, rather than clones, of the Huntingdon Elm, a practice which resulted in a lawsuit
brought by a disgruntled nurseryman at the Oxford Assizes in 1847. F1 hybrid

Cultivation
The tree was widely planted in England, particularly between the end of the nineteenth century and the 1930s, owing to its very rapid growth (< 3 m per annum) and attractive wide-spreading form, but its habit of forking sometimes led to splitting of the trunk and premature death.
