Uses: Hardy elm from China. Often used as a street tree in many urban areas. Leaves can remain almost evergreen in some warmer areas. In cooler locations the leaves turn bronze-orange, yellow in autumn. Generally will not sucker though care should be taken when disturbing the roots. Cultivars such as Ulmus parvifolia 'Todd' are less prone to this problem.
Can be grown in locations such as roof gardens where constricted roots will constrain size.
