The Chinese Elm U. parvifolia cultivar Pathfinder is another development by A. M. Townsend of the USDA National Arboretum. Registered in 1990, it is a tree of modest proportions, rarely reaching > 11 m in height, with a crown slightly less in diameter. The leaves are a glossy yellow-green, and variously described as turning 'greyish red' or 'brilliant red' in autumn. The trunk sports the typical mottled bark.
