Burnley's Select is a wider growing form of Chinese Elm, still producing the same bark that is a real stand-out feature, as the tree sheds it in patches, creating the effect of a tapestry of varying browns and greys. Foliage is lush, shiny and green, and the tree is semi-deciduous, turning golden in autumn, and keeping its leaves in warmer areas.
