Statement of Significance
Contribution to the landscape
Outstanding size
Aesthetic value
This Weeping Elm is an outstanding example of this cultivar and an important feature in the landscape of the garden which is well known for its botanic qualities.
Ulmus glabra 'Camperdownii' cannot reproduce from seed. About 1835 - 1840, the Earl of Camperdown's head forester, David Taylor, discovered a mutant contorted branch growing along the ground in the forest at Camperdown House in Dundee, Scotland. The earl's gardener produced the first Camperdown Elm by grafting it to the trunk of a Ulmus glabra. Every Camperdown Elm in the world is from a cutting taken from that original mutant cutting and is usually grafted on a Wych elm trunk
Situated in front garden cnr. Clarendon & Neil Street,Ballarat.
