I was out and about and I noticed this very pretty tree.
Turns out that it’s a Silver Elm.
It is autumn, and seeds were dropping on other trees, so I thought I’d have a look to see if there were any likely candidates. There were.
These were growing in a well tended bed, so I was puzzled why they hadn’t been uprooted long before. Well, it turns out Elms are runners.
In the long run, I’m going to have to trim that long root back, but that’s a future task. For now, let’s see if can handle the shock of transplant.
