Most of the Elm trees are now beginning to flower. Elm used to be the classic English hedgerow tree. It has small rounded rough-surfaced leaves which are longer on one side than the other. It has slim twigs with dark buds. The red flowers are produced in late February or March ripening by May, to give seeds with round wings. The tree bark is dark and finely ridges in older trees. Picture taken Bromham, Bedfordshire -Mid March 2006.
