Origin	Europe

The European White Elm Ulmus laevis cultivar 'Colorans' was listed by Kirchner[2], in Petzold[3] & Kirchner, Arb. Muscav. 559, 1864 as U. effusa (: laevis) var. colorans.

Description

The tree was described as having leaves turning a rich scarlet red in autumn, not golden yellow.^[1]

Cultivation

'Colorans' was rarely grown in the UK. There have been trees said to be of this type in Hailsham, East Sussex (regrowth of the type survives on the Cuckoo Trail there, 2006). A single tree with much narrower foliage survives in Brighton, as a street tree (2007). The tree is not known to remain in cultivation elsewhere.
