The tree was described as having pendulous branches bearing small leaves with equal teeth [1].
See under Ulmus pumila.
Commonly cultivated in China[2]; much more rarely in Europe and North America. The tree is probably still grown in Longenecker Gardens, University of Wisconsin[3]. All the specimens grown at the Morton Arboretum, Illinois, obtained in the 1950s had either died or been felled by 2008 because of their poor condition.
A probable example grows at the Friston Forest car park of in East Sussex, England. Cloned in 2011, a specimen is now under analysis at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.
