Whe...I am old enough to remember dutch elm disease. When I was small and living in Somerset, many of the trees growing out of the hedges were elm. My father who was a keen photographer took black and white photographs of them but they all succumbed in the end. I still remember the distinctive silhouette of the trees against the sky though I have it admit to not liking elm much as a small child because I didn't like the fuzzy feel of the leaves! There are a few remnants in the hedges near here, they grow for a few years and then die, never reaching full grown. I hope the same doesn't befall the ash.<br />I also have a small rowan tree in the garden. I didn't plant it, it just appeared but I've kept it and this year it is covered in berries.willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818659940895641160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953914797454230899.post-2063682278667491792016-09-11T07:57:26.648+01:002016-09-11T07:57:26.648+01:00A very moving post, and one i feel so much kinship...A very moving post, and one i feel so much kinship with. I too love trees, and I too worry about the loss of ash trees. Lets hope its not too late to help them.We must look after these precious gifts from nature. Bees are our food providers, trees are our lungs, without them we too cannot live. We need each other. Leanne xLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573431221299174647noreply@blogger.com
