The Chinese Elm U. parvifolia cultivar Frosty is a dwarf variety distinguished by its small leaves, which rarely exceed 18 mm in length and feature irregular white margins. Relatively common in cultivation on both sides of the Atlantic, it is represented in the USA at the Holden Arboretum, Denver Botanic Gardens, the Botanic Garden of Smith College, and in the UK at the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in Hampshire, and the Royal Horticultural Society Gardens, Wisley.
