Ulmaceae Zelkova serrata (Thunb.) Makino
det. M. Nee, 2005
New York State, Bronx Co., Bronx, along Mosholu
Parkway at Marion Ave.
Young tree 9 m. tall, 18 cm. in diameter. One of seven
individuals of this species here among numerous Prunus
serotina, Acer negundo, and a few Celtis occidentalis and
Ulmus americana, all the same age and size, which had
sprung up when a grove of Fraxinus americana died from
the “ash decline” about 10 years ago and were removed
along this park area, but nothing new was planted. There are
larger, cultivated trees of Zelkova planted along the
Mosholu Parkway ca. 100 m. away (see no. 53312 collected
14 June 2005), and these seven are undoubtedly local
escapes. Fruit green. This same tree collected in late bud, 19
April 2005 under no. 52905.
