Lace Parasol (elm cultivar)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Winged Elm U. alata cultivar Lace Parasol [1] is a weeping form found by a North Carolina nurseryman growing in woods. Removed to his yard, it remained there until his death, when it was removed again to the North Carolina State Arboretum in Raleigh by J. C. Raulston. The tree is now over 50 years old, but remains only 10 ft (3 m.) in height and spread, resembling a mature Acer palmatum but with an ornamental bark. The foliage turns a vivid yellow in autumn. Trees raised for sale are usually grafts on either U. alata or U. parvifolia.
