Ulmus parvifolia 'Churchyard' is a Chinese Elm cultivar raised by Fleming’s Nurseries in Victoria, Australia. Propagated from a Chinese Elm growing in Melbourne, it is distinguished by its pendant branch tips and thickly textured foliage. The tree is of moderately rapid growth, ultimately achieving a rounded habit, approximately 10 m high and 10 m wide. The leaves, 5 cm long, turn a golden orange colour in autumn. The samarae are rounded, 9 mm in diameter, and are shed in late autumn. 'Churchyard' is not known to have been introduced (2006) to Europe or North America.
