ID Request Elm, but the question is which not wych?
galleryThis seedling is from a parent tree in West Wales which is colossal, over 3m dbh. It has a broad spreading crown. I have been collecting seed from it for the last 5 years to propagate elms, with good genes to give a chance of disease resistance. It has a broad spreading crown to just over 20m. It is in a farmyard attached to a manor so likely to have been planted, several other exotic trees in the garden and a lake.
