The hybrid elm cultivar Ulmus × hollandica 'Fulva' is one of a number of cultivars arising from the crossing of Wych Elm U. glabra with Field Elm U. minor. Originally raised by Hesse's Nurseries, Weener, Germany , it was first mentioned in Mededeeling, Comite inzake Bestudeering en Bestrijding van de Iepenziekte 10: 9, 1932, but without description.[1][2] Hesse's 1933 catalogue shows both U. fulva Hort. and U. fulva Michx..[3]
