Hardy to USDA Zone 5 An Ulmua parvifolia tree growing on the campus of the University of Georgia, Athens, was noticed as having a habit similar to that of Ulmus americana. At the time the tree was about 70-80 years old and did not show any trunk or branch damage resulting from ice storms that are common in the Athens area. Other nearby tree species showed extensive ice damage. The resulting selection (ALLÉE) was developed asexually from stem cuttings taken from the old tree. US Patent 7,552, Aug. 11,1991
