Title: name the tree
Post by: Hilary on May 11, 2015, 04:42:40 PM

This low tree was growing behind a barrier in what looked like a building site?
We saw  it near the Madrid Rio at the beginning of April.
I thought it might be Wych Elm Ulmus glabra
Does anyone agree?

Definitely is an Elm. I'd suggest Ulmus parviflora or Ulmus chinensis
