Re: question on Elm tree name

I think Claire is on to something here.

In the RHS database there are 66 records including:
  Ulmus glabra 'Camperdownii'  CAMPERDOWN ELM
  U. glabra 'Pendula'  CAMPERDOWN WEEPING ELM;WEEPING WYCH ELM
  U. glabra 'Horizontalis'   synonym of Ulmus glabra 'Pendula'

None of the other common names listed there seemed to lensd a clue.
