Walker570 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Yep Clem and at least you can spell it correctly I have one in my wood which is well away from all others in the hedgerows. I'm hoping it stays healthy. It grew from a seed 25yrs ago and now spreads over about 30ft diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 It's not until they get to a certain size that they are attractive to the beetle that carries the disease. Unfortunately at 30' yours has just about reached that size. Seen it happen many times as illustrated with the dead branch in the background of the later pic. Best of luck mind.

As Marshman says the prize is a day's crow bashing with PC so PC cannot enter the competition. Some of you may have noticed that PC has invented a new Genus of trees with his original entry. I'm in the group of " thee of little knowledge" the garden is the space between my garage and shed and trees are what I use to build my hide against and keep me in the shade!!!!

JDog Posted June 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 Yes it's an English Elm. Previously known as Ulmus procera but for some reason they seem to have reclassified it as Ulmus minor var. 'Atina' as far as I can see. This particular one will not see the summer out as it has now formed bark which the dreaded beetle can get underneath and do it's damage.

marsh man Posted June 4, 2018 Report Share Posted June 4, 2018 We would have known by the dead tree with its branches bare , as sadly most , if not all our elm trees are in that state . Right or wrong it was still an educational thread Mr JDog I think the prize is awarded to ditchy , as he was the first to state Elm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's closer to the Raoul than any variety of Walnut I have ever seen. Thank you. I'll have a look on tiniternet for some examples and then when I walk my dog tomorrow compare them to these trees and let you know. 17 minutes ago, ditchman said: no# 24....the larch and now?
