King's Choice (elm cultivar)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chinese Elm U. parvifolia cultivar King's Choice is one of the early American selections, best known for its winter hardiness. Bushy in shape, its leaves turn yellow in autumn, but the cultivar lacks the attractive mottled bark for which the species is renown. The tree featured in the elm trials [1] conducted by Northern Arizona University at Holbrook, eastern Arizona. It is not known to be in cultivation in Europe or Australasia.
