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.

Famous quotes containing the word cultivation:
“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)
“The cultivation of one set of faculties tends to the disuse of others. The loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive in touch. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculty permitted others as essential to national life, to be blighted by disease?”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
