Catlins elms are more evergreen-like than species Ulmus parvifolia. The
leaves do not get fall color, but rather just die and turn brown after
being frost killed, at around low 20's F. However, temperatures down to
around 18F doesn't seem to bother them. You might get small branch
dieback on very soft new wood though.
