Re: The English Elm memoirs
Nice Tony
Why do some EE have extra barky branches? is it the type of EE or something else? It also only seems to happen on some parts of the tree.
thanks

Re: The English Elm memoirs
Hi Busta, I had the same Q when I started to look at them in a local area...turns out it is absolutely normal
I have since seen it on EE's in pics across Europe too!

wings or fins on the branches are very commom to EE. It has been speculated that it might be a disease specific to some EE and areas. Im yet to see evidence of it.
Hey Ken i didnt realise LA too

Re: The English Elm memoirs
Thanks guys.
It seems strange how it only affects some EE and some branches on the tree.
Maybe it is a corky bark EE.

Re: The English Elm memoirs
EE from the land of the wild Brumbies...
Three days and Three nights on horse back with stallion's at hand. We crossed white rivers, through passes, over hills and mountains. To finally find what we came for. The legend of the English Elms that the Wild Brumbies seek as a delicacy when the grasses get scarce and grazings are few. Here on this open plain, there they were contorted, twisting, hollowed, showing there submission and stuggle to the elements. We knew we had to have these, treasures of art in pots to show is what this was all about.
