Cultivation
The tree is reputed to have originated circa 1750 in or around Mechelen, and widely planted throughout Belgium; considered "possibly the same as 'Belgica' (Belgian Elm)" by Green. 'Latifolia' was known to have been marketed (as U. Montana latifolia) in Poland in the 19th century by the Ulrich nursery, Warsaw, and may still survive in Eastern Europe; it is not known to have been introduced to North America or Australasia.

“Those who are esteemed umpires of taste, are often persons who have acquired some knowledge of admired pictures or sculptures, and have an inclination for whatever is elegant; but if you inquire whether they are beautiful souls, and whether their own acts are like fair pictures, you learn that they are selfish and sensual. Their cultivation is local, as if you should rub a log of dry wood in one spot to produce fire, all the rest remaining cold.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
