Cultivation
In the wild, the tree is most commonly found on flood plains, indicating a tolerance of periodic inundation. The species is very rare in cultivation in West; it was introduced to the Morton Arboretum, Illinois, in 1995 as part of an evaluation of Chinese elms for landscape use. In artificial freezing tests at the arboretum the LT50 (temp. at which 50% of tissues die) was found to be - 30.7 °C. There are no known cultivars of this taxon, nor is it known to be in commerce beyond the USA.
