Ulmus parvifolia 'Hallelujah'

The Chinese Elm cultivar Ulmus parvifolia 'Hallelujah' is one of three American introductions made circa 1992 that were selected for their cold hardiness (USA zone 4 tolerant). 'Hallelujah' is known to have withstood -37 °C (-35 °F) in Missouri.

The tree is fast growing, and reputed to have very attractive foliage and bark.^[1][2]

The species and its cultivars are highly resistant, but not immune, to Dutch elm disease, and unaffected by the Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola.^[3]

'Hallelujah' is extremely rare in cultivation beyond North America.
