Tall, upright and arching, this cultivar’s growth habit is unique among U. parvifolia cultivars, being reminiscent of the grand American Elm. Its exfoliating bark creates a mosaic of orange, tan and gray, a beautiful sight on a mature tree. Discovered by Dr. Michael Dirr of the University of Georgia, Athens.
