One of the most outstanding medium-sized trees for the landscape, this variable and disease-resistant East Asian elm bears small, glossy, deciduous or semi-evergreen leaves, which in forms such as 'Burgundy' and 'Pathfinder' turn a good red in fall. Many selections ('Hallelujah' and 'Dynasty' among them) have handsome exfoliating bark mottled with patches of orange, tan, gray, and other contrasting colors. Several dwarf cultivars (including 'Frosty', 'Geisha', and 'Catlin') are also available, characterized by tiny, often white-edged leaves and shrubby growth. Evergreen lacebark elms (such as 'Drake' and 'True Green') make excellent trees for California and other mild-winter regions, often holding their leaves all winter. Cold hardiness of this elm varies widely, with the hardiest tolerating severe winters (such as in the central United States). The flowers and winged seeds appear in late summer and autumn and are ornamentally insignificant.
Plant this all-season beauty in full sun in well-drained, humus-rich soil. It tolerates alkaline soil and occasional drought. In its hardiest forms it can weather USDA Zone 4/5 borderline temperatures. Do not confuse Chinese elm with the more cold-hardy Siberian elm (Ulmus pumila). Semi-evergreen selections are usually somewhat cold-tender. Give it a prominent location where its striking bark and other features can make their full ornamental impact.
Dwarf forms are ideal for containers and bonsai. (Source: learn2grow.com)
