To my knowledge (wich I´m sure will be corrected) the "nire" stands for
a corkbark variety of chinese elm, zelkova and japanese maple.

I was under the impression that Nire is simply the Japanese word for elm.
Sometimes I see this name attached to Zelkova. Recently I was told that 'Nire' is
a specific cultivar of Ulmus parvifolia. It has a very narrow white picotee
on the edge of the leaves. It is sold under that name in Japan. Not the same as
'Kimmie' or 'Frosty.' In fact, I have one that fits that description. Can't
find any reference to it on the Web. Can anyone clarify?
