The cultivar 'Elsrijk' strongly resembles the species morphologically. As a rule the tree is slightly less tall and the leaves are a little smaller. The most striking feature is the very dense and closed crown. Therefore 'Elsrijk' is very suitable for narrow streets. The fact that the plant can withstand hard surfaces contributes positively. The plant forms a strongly branching root ball with very many hair roots. 'Elsrijk' is hardly sensitive to mildew, also a characteristic that has contributed to the fact that this tree became part of the standard assortment of avenue trees in a relatively short time. In 1953 'Elsrijk' was selected from a population of 12-year-old trees. Even then the plant caught the attention because of its narrow crown.
