| | | Elm for ID
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with this Elm; I suppose it could just be Wych Elm ( Ulmus glabra), but something about it just struck me as different.
I was thinking maybe it could be one of the hybrids ( U. x hollandica or U. x vegeta) but I can't find any useful guides to identifying them  
Thanks  |

It may be just Wych Elm, but I suspect it may be Huntingdon Elm (Ulmus x vegeta) |

Elms are notoriously difficult to indetify , there are so many species, hybrids, varieties and clones! |

You can learn a lot about elms and keep your sanity if you have a read of 'Identification of British Elms' by Max Coleman, BSBI Referee for Elms. It is really informative and includes a key, illustrations and descriptions. Originally published in 'British Wildlife' in 2002. Send me your e-mail address and I will send it to you as an attachment. Now is a good time to look at your local elms.

This almost certainly appears to be smooth leaved elm due to it's longer than wide leaves, especially if it has a smooth upper surface to the leaf. | | |
