| Origin | Goes, Netherlands |
The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Schuurhoek' was originally an old, nameless clone cultivated c.1880[1] in the vicinity of Goes, Netherlands, which was taken back into cultivation as 'Schuurhoek' by the van't Westeinde nursery (now 'Kwekerij Westhof') at 's-Heer Abtskerke, Zeeland, in the 1950s.[2] It was identified as U. carpinifolia (:U. minor) by Fontaine (1968),[1] though treated as a cultivar of U. × hollandica by some authorities.
Description[edit]
A tall tree, the trunk covered with light branches over its entire length, and reputedly very resistant to exposure.[3][4][1] Fontaine described the leaves as "quite long-pointed for the species".[1][5]

Pests and diseases[edit]
No resistance to Dutch elm disease has been noted, and the tree is susceptible to Verticillium wilt.[6]
Cultivation[edit]
The elm was originally cultivated as a windbreak tree in coastal areas of the Netherlands. It is not known to have been introduced to North America or Australasia.
Etymology[edit]
The tree is named for the small rural district of Schuurhoek in Zeeland.
Notable trees[edit]
F. J. Fontaine reported in 1968 a fairly close-planted, c.80-year old stand on the dykes between Ovezande and Oudelande, forming a tall, hedge-shaped windbreak.[1]
