Scully Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 I’d go for Elm too. Don’t park your car under it….makes a hell of a mess! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 I would modify that to Wych Elm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted May 5 Author Report Share Posted May 5 It's quite possible an Elm. I did try planting some a few years ago but didn't get any luck. Maybe this one did. It's approx 2 years old and will be given to a local farmer in due course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you're coming from on that... but the wych elm leaf has a wispy, pointed tip, shaped a bit like a hazel leaf. The above pictures are the wrong shape for an English elm, and too serrated for a Huntingdon Elm. It's very similar to the smooth-leafed elm. It's also very similar to hornbeam too. If I had to make a guess I'd say smooth-leaved elm. Edited May 7 by Jim Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
