The Chinese Elm Ulmus parvifolia cultivar 'Golden Rey' is an American clone chiefly distinguished by its spreading dome shape. The leaves emerge a uniform light yellow, maturing to a chartreuse yellow. The exfoliating bark is a mottled mix of grey, orange and brown [1]. The tree was patented by B. Rey in 1990 [2]; it is not known to be in cultivation in Europe or Australasia.
