Similar in appearance to 'Jacan'.
The tree is more resistant to Dutch elm disease than 'Jacan', and is also resistant to elm leaf beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola [2] [1].
Largely restricted to Canada, 'Mitsui Centennial' is represented in Europe by a specimen at the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in Hampshire, England, where it has grown strongly in a sheltered location on London Clay.
