Ulmus × hollandica 'Dumont'

Ulmus × hollandica
Hybrid parentage	U. glabra × U. minor
Cultivar	'Dumont'
Origin	Belgium

The hybrid elm cultivar Ulmus × hollandica 'Dumont' was a very vigorous elm raised from a tree discovered by a gardener on the estate of M. Dumont at Tournay, Belgium, c. 1865.

The tree had a straight trunk and a narrow regular, pyramidal crown; the leaves being somewhat smaller than 'Belgica'.

'Dumont' was very susceptible to Dutch elm disease.

No specimens are known to survive. The tree was once a popular choice for street planting in Belgium and France, notably at Versailles (town, not palace). An U. campestris Dumont, "a vigorous grower" with "large leaves", appeared in the 1909 catalogue of the Bobbink and Atkins nursery, Rutherford, New Jersey. The Hesse Nursery of Weener, Germany, marketed an Ulmus latifolia Dumont in the 1930s.
