The Chinese Elm Ulmus parvifolia cultivar 'Zettler' (Heritage™) [1] is one of three recent (< 2006) American introductions selected for their cold hardiness (USA zone 4 tolerant). The tree has a strong, upright habit and excellent branching structure, bearing deep green glossy foliage that turns to an attractive autumn colour in some years. 'Zettler' was originally selected from over 20,000 seedlings in 1975, and subsequently proved to be one of the hardiest Chinese or Lacebark Elms available in the USA, surviving - 33° C (- 27° F) in Illinois during the winter of 1989 without sustaining any damage whatsoever.
'Zettler' (Heritage™)is not known to have been introduced to Europe or Australasia.
