Ulmus parvifolia
Common Name: Lacebark Elm
Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia) develops a spreading shade canopy and bark that peels into a mottled pattern. Small leaves and variable autumn color complement the trunk, which becomes more distinctive as the tree ages.
Its structure combines dense branching and upright growth. Growth is moderate. Leaf retention varies with winter conditions. Autumn foliage can bring yellow, purple and red tones.
Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
