The Chinese Elm cultivar Ulmus parvifolia 'Matthew' is one of three American introductions selected for their cold hardiness (US zone 4 tolerant).
The tree has an upright vase-shape, strong branches, and a bark that exfoliates at a relatively early age.
The species and its cultivars are highly resistant, but not immune, to Dutch elm disease, and unaffected by the Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola.
[1] 'Matthew' is not known to be in cultivation beyond North America.
