This lovely selection of the semi-evergreen Chinese elm, propagated from a specimen on Portland's 11th Avenue, has small glossy leaves, mostly evergreen in warmer parts of its range, though a cold winter can strip the leaves. Deciduous in the colder zones, with fall color from yellow to red-purple. The bark is corky and mottled, exfoliating with age to combinations of gray, green, orange, and brown. Resistant to Dutch Elm disease and tolerant of air pollution, this is an excellent street tree, somewhat vase-shaped and reaching a luxurious 40-50 ft tall and wide in sun and well-drained soil with regular summer water. Frost hardy to -30F, USDA zone 4.
