Which ulmus do you have in the streets? I have not heard of this species used as street planting. I thought Ulmus minor or U Pumila were mostly planted.
Mine is outside. Full exposure. Had -5 this winter already, and has seen several frost cycles since frost started in october.
We have Pumila Ulmus in the streets, and people call it Siberian Elm (Olmo siberiano in spanish). I took a photo near mi house, and you can see the size of the trees. Here we have a problem with this elms because they grow fast and invade the space. When the winter comes (now in Madrid) their leaves drop and the roads are full of leaves.
I've seen your post and your elm it's beautiful.

I think it is important to realize that different species behave differently. So U pumila and U siberiano are not per se a good indication of how U paviflora will respond to things.

There are several kinds of elms planted on the streets here, at least two different kinds, looking at the bark. I grabbed a handful of seeds off of one a couple of years ago and have dozens of the them now. The parent trees have large pieces of bark peeling off, with orange under bark, which I fell in love with.
So far this fall about half of them had green leaves, as of yesterday. We had our first frost last night so they may have gotten the hint that summer is over and it is time to drop the leaves. The last two years they have popped leaves out in the first week of January. I don't know what that means.
