Are you thinking of the Siberian Elm? I use it to graft the Camperdwon Elm to.

Hi,
How about the good old elm tree? In Ontario we are in the midst of an elm recovery.
It appears that certain elms had some immunity to dutch elm disease, but were so distant from one another they could not pollinate each other. Now that trees are being found, the elm can be recovered.
