Yes but some of us remember when elms were just about the biggest trees
around.


They had such an iconic outline didn't they? Even in winter and they
didn't drop blinking saplings all over the shop like sycamore and ash!


Golden elm is a lovely tree it seems to carry it's own sunshine and gets
to quite a height so presumably impervious to the beetle?
