Cloudless skies, pink shoulders and an unnatural yearning for cornettos. It must be our peri-summer. Let the watering commence.
This may or may not be a golden elm. What is not in dispute is that it is a very beautiful tree. I rather like the sound of golden elm though, and until corrected it is what I shall continue to call it. Over to you.

Well, compared to Ulmus hollandica Dampieri Aurea, Ulmus hollandica Wredei, Ulmus x hollandica ‘Wredei’, etc. “Golden Elm” sounds good. So let’s not argue. I still have an unopened bottle of Prosecco getting in the way. Oh, and a Stachyurus praecox that I wasn’t going to get in Devon. 😉

It doen’t look like anything in my garden, but it is beautiful for sure. We alsohave an un-named tree we just call it a shade tree although it is still too small to offer shade. I sent Dr. A to buy a flowering pear, but this clearly is not one. He offered to return it, but Charlie christened it and so it stands.

I like the sound of that tree, a fine name 🙂

Looks very much like a yellow cv. of an elm – you are right! (the base of the leaf asymmetrical – easiest character to ID any Ulmus)

I would have thought it to be one of the golden beeches, Fagus sylvatica, although I would not know the cultivar.
