Ulmus Sapporo Gold 2 () is an elm cultivar raised by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF), United States, but only registered and released to commerce in Europe.
Description Very vigorous and rather unruly, maintaining a clean stem has proven difficult, effectively disqualifying 'Sapporo Gold' for street use, consequently it is now promoted primarily as a hedgerow tree. The foliage is similar to 'Sapporo Autumn Gold', which has the same parentage.
Pests and diseases 'Sapporo Gold 2' () has a high resistance to Dutch elm disease.
Cultivation The tree was registered in 1990 as 'Sapporo Gold 2' () and has been marketed as a hedging plant ever since.
Accessions Europe Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, Ampfield, Hampshire, UK. Acc. no. 1991.0891 (listed simply as 'Resista'), single tree planted in Crookhill Field (CK 130), 6.6 m high, 19.0 cm d.b.h. in 2005.
