I've been in the Toscana Park in Gmunden yesterday. Here's the pic of
the silhouette of a bizarrely shaped elm tree.


You are lucky to have any Elm Trees left, we lost all ours to Dutch Elm
Disease years ago and they were often our biggest trees.


The same here. But it seems that only bigger trees are affected. There
are still seedlings here and there. I have an elm tree trimmed as bonsai.
And I must confess, I've never been there before and identified the tree
only by bark and a tiny twig. I'm very probably right with Elm, but
I'll have to check again in summer to be completely sure.
