Ulmus VADA ('Wanoux') – Ulmus VADA ('Wanoux')

View prices and availability
A medium-size tree with an oval crown that grows vigorously when young. Mainly young trees grow upwards well and on favourable sites, the tree can grow quickly. The tree eventually grows to 10 to 12 m tall. The year-old twigs are brown-green, the older bark is brown-grey and smooth. The dark green leaf resembles the leaf on Ulmus Lutèce, although it is slightly smaller and rounder. The leaf margins are strikingly rough serrated. In autumn the foliage turns brown-yellow. Vada was developed in the Netherlands by Hans Heybroek and Alterra, but never released. During French tests into resistance to Dutch elm disease, this variety scored very well and was acquired and marketed by the French INRA. The tree has good wind resistance and also tolerates sea wind. Its oval crown means it can also be used as a street tree.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
