North Texas Yamadori
The BSoD had the 1st of two digs for this year, yesterday,these are some snaps shots of cedar elms collected in Sherman, Tx. Cedar Elms (ulmus crassifolia), are known for their very twiggy ramification, and craggy bark. They tend to grow straight and don't taper much. They are good specimens for groups plantings and forests. here is a snapshot of Ralphie-boy engaged in back breaking labor.

And finally, a winged elm, that I got from a vacant lot close to the house this morning. Winged elms are very closely related cousins to cedar elms, the main difference being the corky wings they grow on their branches. This one is covered in lichens, as were all the rest in the field where this was taken from. Does anyone know if the lichens negatively affect these trees? I think it actually helps to give them the appearance of greater age, but I want to clean it off if it will be a problem for the tree.

Those elms are great to work with.Before all is said and done they will make for over half of my collection.We have them here growing in the wild too,and your right about the twiggy ramification they grow.Other than the bark my favorite feature is the small leaf they produce with little effort on our parts.Great trees!
