Trev, as I said I went all the way to Melbourne to see this tree....oh yeah there was some tree arby conference or something as well

These shots were taken just as she was putting on new leaf, so she looks quite beautiful, I won't bore everyone but to me having seen Dutch Elm disease destroy thousands of elms in Europe (I actually learnt to use a chainsaw removing 100 elms in Nth Derbyshire aged 15 in the late 70's) this Golden Elm brought tears to my eyes, your right Trev the traffic is very near but when you sit under her canopy I swear I heard no cars.
