Tabletop Scotch elm Ulmus glabra 'Horizontalis'
32-1106-A
Horticultural variety, native to eastern Europe and Asia Minor. Standing watch near the Swan Pond, the Tabletop Scotch elm is a Pennsylvania state champion tree. This specimen appears on the 1909 Atlas of Compton and was planted by John Morris during the Victorian-era vogue of weeping and contorted trees. The weeping portion of the plant was grafted high onto its understock, allowing one to look up into the cascading canopy. A plant of curiosity and fascination for visitors, it remains a continual reminder of our horticultural heritage. Height: 20 feet (1993) Spread: 36 feet DBH: 2.1 feet
