The elm cultivar Ulmus × hollandica 'Ademuz' was cloned by root cuttings from an ancient tree discovered in 1996 by Margarita Burón of the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Montes, Universidad Politėcnica de Madrid (UPM). 'Ademuz' has a very high tolerance of Dutch elm disease. In the Madrid study, the appearance of the tree was rated 4.5 / 5, the most attractive of seven cultivars under assessment.

'Ademuz' was introduced to the UK in 2014 by Hampshire & Isle of Wight Branch, Butterfly Conservation as part of an assessment of DED-resistant cultivars as potential hosts of the endangered White-letter Hairstreak. 'Ademuz' was observed hosting the White-letter Hairstreak in Hampshire in 2025.

Propagation of 'Ademuz' is protected by an EU Grant of Rights, given on 02/07/2018 under Grant ref. 49920.
