According to the website "Gardening Know-how": "The history of the Camperdown elm started over 100 years ago in Scotland. In 1835, a forester for the Earl of Camperdown found an elm tree growing with contorted branches in Dundee, Scotland.

Later, he grafted branches of it to other elms, producing the Camperdown weeping elm cultivar.
