Camperdown Elms
A well-matched pair of weeping elms (Ulmus glabra camperdownii) obscuring the front of a two-story house. A swollen ring around the trunk of each tree marks the site of the graft of the pendulous portion onto the upright trunk. Weeping elms were sometimes called "upside-down trees" because of the perceived similarity of the weeping branches to tree roots. |
