[IBC] 'Jacqueline Hillier'
Bill's issue on this tree is not out yet, so I don't know what he has, but
this is what I got when I asked the RHS for the correct name. The taxonomy of elms is notoriously difficult and it is hard to find two authorities who agree with one another.* Ulmus x hollandica is believed to be a hybrid between U. glabra and U. minor, but there may be elements of U. plotii in its ancestry too.* U. x elegantissima is thought to be a hybrid between U. glabra and U. plotii.* 'Jacqueline Hillier' was discovered in a garden in Birmingham, within the natural range of U. plotii, but its parentage is not known for certain.* On account of the difficulty in determining parentage of hybrid elms we take a broad view of U. x hollandica to include cultivars which might have U. plotii in their ancestry.Unfortunately, until more definitive research is carried out on the taxonomy of hybrid elms, the nomenclature will remain confused. All I can add is that it appears to be a tough little plant.
