The tree is described as having long, loosely pendulous branches.
The species and its cultivars are highly resistant, but not immune, to Dutch elm disease, and unaffected by the Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola [2].
'Pendens' originated in California before 1930 from seed received from China, but is not known to have been released to commerce.[1]
