Ulmus procera...No; rare Ulmus x hollandica 'Dauvessei, YES

Peter Bourne • 20/01/21

This tree is a very fine specimen of Ulmus x hollandica 'Dauvessei which can be found by the Reflecting Pool in Washington DC and in three locations in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is a very rare tree indeed nowadays. The dimensions of this specimen are staggering!!! Making it the WORLD's Largest in girth and possibly height to this day. Well done Australia!!!
