 Berndt (of the Berndt Nursery, Zirlau, Schweidnitz) received "from a renowned nursery in Holstein" an "Ulmus montana fastigiata macrophylla", possibly the same clone, in 1903, which he listed and described as "Ulmus glabra fastigiata" in Graf von Schwerin's "Mitteilungen der Deutschen Dendrologischen Gesellschaft" (1915).Henry noted (1913) that a tree grown at Kew Gardens under a not dissimilar name, "U. montana macrophylla fastigiata", was "similar in all respects" to a hybrid cultivar there, acquired from the Späth nursery in 1900, that he called "Ulmus superba" Henry.The tree was described as a beautiful pyramidal form with large leaves.
