The Chinese elm cultivar Ulmus parvifolia 'Yarralumla' is a cultivar raised by the Yarralumla Nursery in Canberra, Australia.
'Yarralumla' is distinguished by its broad, weeping habit and smooth decorative trunk. Growing to approximately 15 m by 15 m, its foliage in autumn is bright yellow. [1]
The species and its cultivars are highly resistant, but not immune, to Dutch elm disease, and they are unaffected by the elm leaf beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola . [2]
The tree is not known to have been introduced to Europe or North America.
