The Chinese Elm Ulmus 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 [1] [2]. 'Pathfinder' is not known to be in cultivation in Europe or Australasia.
