Any ideas?
Drake is a cultivar of Chinese Elm. It was an improved variety developed as a street tree. I have a few in gallon pots and they do have a much more formal upright attitude. I remember planting 2-1/2 " caliper "Drake" many years ago in commercial and occasional residential sites. As I recall, the exfoliation of the bark is also more predictable than the species.We were told it's the same as the Drake elms we have growing in our yard. That kind of threw me. My husband mentioned the bark looked the same and I think it was Jason Schley that said "It is a Drake Elm".
That is quite a list A doubt I have seen more than about 8 or 10 of them. I only have 6 on this list.Here's a list of some of the cultivars.
