Has little autumn colour. Blossoms in clusters of light green flowers, followed by seeds enclosed in wings. It originated at the University of Wisconsin from a cross between Ulmus japonica and Ulmus pumila: high resistance to Dutch elm disease. Also good tolerance to wind. When young it needs regular support pruning, although it can then grow into a good, regularly shaped tree.
