Ulmus parvifolia
Chinese Elm

• Native to China, this mid-sized tree is sometimes called lacebark elm because of its delicate exfoliating bark.

• Its small leaves and seeds can be somewhat messy in the landscape, and it will self-seed aggressively to become weedy or even invasive.

• Prefers full sun and well-drained soil.

• Resistant to Dutch Elm Disease, tolerant of urban conditions and drought.
