Ulmus × arbuscula E. Wolf [: "bushy" ] is a putative hybrid of Ulmus scabra (: glabra) and Ulmus pumila raised from seed collected from a large wych elm in the St. Petersburg Botanic Garden in 1902. A similar crossing was cloned ('FL025') by the Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante (IPP), Florence, as part of the Italian elm breeding programme circa 2000.
The tree was for a short time from 1913 distributed by the Späth nursery, as Ulmus arbuscula E. Wolf, described as "(montana × pumila), ..an as yet uncommon hybrid", a specimen being supplied to Ryston Hall at that time. It does not appear in their post-war catalogues. Another, labelled Ulmus arbuscula Wolf and described as a large tree, stood in the Nymphenburg Palace Park, Munich, in the mid-20th century. Two trees survive in eastern European arboreta (see 'Accessions'). U. × arbuscula is not known to have been introduced to North America or Australasia.
