OriginUS

Ulmus 'Sapporo Gold 2' (Resista) [1] is an elm cultivar raised by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), United States, but only registered and released to commerce in Europe.[1]

Description

[edit]

Very vigorous and rather unruly, maintaining a clean stem has proven difficult, effectively disqualifying 'Sapporo Gold' for street use, consequently it is now promoted primarily as a hedgerow tree. The foliage is similar to 'Sapporo Autumn Gold', which has the same parentage.

Pests and diseases

[edit]

'Sapporo Gold 2' (Resista) has a high resistance to Dutch elm disease.

Cultivation

[edit]

The tree was registered in 1990 as 'Sapporo Gold 2' (Resista) and has been marketed as a hedging plant ever since.[1]
