The tree of dreams 
The field elm (Ulmus minor) is a tree that can reach more than 30 meters in height, with a beautiful dome-shaped crown. A serious disease called graphiosis, which arrived in Europe from Asia around 1920 and spread by some beetles, has almost totally destroyed the adult plants throughout Europe.
It lives in woods and hedges on fresh or periodically submerged soils.
One of the characteristics of elms is to possess leaves 
with an asymmetrical base.
