* at least from Quebec and west Ulmus pumila is widespread and invasive,
though I don't have any NS records in my database. It's the dominant
tree in most prairie towns, and in Ontario it's a conservation threat
because it hybridizes with the native Slippery Elm, and it's a major
woody-plant colonist of roadsides. It was widely advertised and sold as
resistant to Dutch Elm Disease. There is an anthem -
Siberian Elm, the true Canadian tree,
Never cut down, has immortality.
From magazine back covers it
has spread from sea to sea,
and with its slippery wives it spawns
a Métis progeny.
O pumila, O pumilamity, poom, poom,
poom, poom, poom, poom,
it's everywhere, you see. . . .
