Presented by Kim Shearer, Tree and Shrub Breeder and Manager New Plant Development Program, The Morton Arboretum
Populating the streets and parkways of cities and suburban communities across the country are elm trees with names like Accolade and Triumph. Such names suggest a recognition of achievement after a long fought war-in this case a war with a plant pathogen. In this talk, the background and history of elm improvement at Morton Arboretum will introduce you to a dendrologist turned breeder and the collection of trees he amassed to establish a legacy of elm improvement that continues to inspire breeding and selection of elms at the Morton Arboretum today.
