'''''Ulmus parvifolia''''', commonly known as the '''Chinese''' or '''Lacebark, Elm''', is a [[species]] native to [[China]], [[Japan]], [[North Korea]] and [[Vietnam]].<ref name=Fu> Fu, L., Xin, Y. & Whittemore, A.

A small to medium [[deciduous]], [[semi-deciduous]] (rarely semi-[[evergreen]]) [[tree]] growing to 10-18 m tall with a slender trunk and crown. It has been described as "one of the most splendid elms, having the poise of a graceful [[Nothofagus]]".<ref name=Hilliers'>''Hilliers' Manual of Trees & Shrubs'', 4th edition, 1977,  David & Charles, Newton Abbot, England </ref> . The leathery, lustrous green single-toothed [[leaf|leaves]] are small, 2 cm - 5 cm long by 1 cm -3 cm broad, and often retained as late as December or even January in [[Europe]] and [[North America]]. The [[apetalous]] wind-pollinated [[perfect flower]]s are produced in early autumn, small and inconspicuous. The fruit is a [[samara (fruit)|samara]], elliptic to ovate-elliptic, 10 mm - 13 mm long by 6 mm - 8 mm broad <ref name=Fu>Fu, L., Xin, Y. & Whittemore, A. (2002). Ulmaceae, in Wu, Z. & Raven, P.

ISBN 10-193-072340-7 [http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/china/PDF/PDF05/Ulmus.pdf]</ref>. The samara is mostly glabrous, the seed at the centre or toward the apex, borne on a stalk between 1 mm and 3 mm in length; it matures rapidly and disperses by late autumn. The trunk has a handsome, flaking bark of mottled greys with tans and reds, giving rise to its other common name, the Lacebark Elm, although scarring from major branch loss can lead to large canker-like wounds.<ref name=Bean>Bean, W.

The Chinese Elm is a tough landscape tree, hardy enough for use in harsh planting situations such as parking lots, in small planters along streets and in plazas or patios. Chinese Elms are frequently used in [[bonsai]]; they are considered a good choice for beginners owing to their high tolerance of pruning.  Nurseries are widely available in North America, Europe, and Australasia.

 +
The tree is arguably the most ubiquitous of the elms, now found in all the continents except [[Antarctica]].

Ulmus parvifolia, commonly known as the Chinese or Lacebark, Elm, is a species native to China, Japan, North Korea and Vietnam.[1]

A small to medium deciduous, semi-deciduous (rarely semi-evergreen) tree growing to 10-18 m tall with a slender trunk and crown. It has been described as "one of the most splendid elms, having the poise of a graceful Nothofagus".[2] . The leathery, lustrous green single-toothed leaves are small, 2 cm - 5 cm long by 1 cm -3 cm broad, and often retained as late as December or even January in Europe and North America. The apetalous wind-pollinated perfect flowers are produced in early autumn, small and inconspicuous. The fruit is a samara, elliptic to ovate-elliptic, 10 mm - 13 mm long by 6 mm - 8 mm broad [1]. The samara is mostly glabrous, the seed at the centre or toward the apex, borne on a stalk between 1 mm and 3 mm in length; it matures rapidly and disperses by late autumn. The trunk has a handsome, flaking bark of mottled greys with tans and reds, giving rise to its other common name, the Lacebark Elm, although scarring from major branch loss can lead to large canker-like wounds.[3][4][5][6]

The Chinese Elm is a tough landscape tree, hardy enough for use in harsh planting situations such as parking lots, in small planters along streets and in plazas or patios. Chinese Elms are frequently used in bonsai; they are considered a good choice for beginners owing to their high tolerance of pruning. Nurseries are widely available in North America, Europe, and Australasia.

The tree is arguably the most ubiquitous of the elms, now found in all the continents except Antarctica.

Pests and diseases

The Chinese Elm is highly resistant, but not immune, to Dutch elm disease. It is also very resistant to the elm leaf beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola [1], but has a moderate susceptibility to Elm Yellows [7]. In trials at the Sunshine Nursery, Oklahoma, the species was adjudged as having the best pest resistance of about 200 taxa [8] However, foliage was regarded as only "somewhat resistant" to black spot by the Plant Diagnostic Clinic of the University of Missouri [2].

An autumn flowering species, whereas most other elms flower in spring, hybrids have accordingly been very few:
