Ulmus 'Paul King' is a cultivar cloned from an old elm surviving in Essex, England, amidst others afflicted by Dutch elm disease. The tree is claimed to be English Elm, now sunk as a cultivar, however the tree is more probably another of the many forms of Field Elm U. minor occurring in the east of England.The tree is named for the proprietor of the King Nursery in that county, who discovered and cloned the tree.
