Ulmus Minor Subsp. Angustifolia

Ulmus Minor Subsp. Angustifolia

Ulmus minor subsp. angustifolia, commonly known as the Cornish Elm, is a species of deciduous tree. The species was once a common sight across much of South West England, Southern Ireland and Brittany. However, Dutch elm disease devastated Cornish Elm populations across Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. The species now persists mostly in Australia, although a small number survive in England.
