The Chinese Elm U. parvifolia cultivar Sempervirens is an American introduction, commonly known by the synonym Evergreen, and may also be in synonymy for U. parvifolia Pendens. Semi-evergreen to evergreen depending on climate, it is described as having a rounded crown and gracefully arching branches bearing deep-green foliage. Described by Hillier as "one of the most splendid elms, having the poise of a graceful Nothofagus". The tree was first listed by Bailey & Bailey in Hortus Second, 747, 1941, and remains in commercial cultivation in the USA.
