Camperdown Elm

I have walked past this tree at the college many times,
 but I had to stop this time. 
I checked Wikipedia for details, and found the history of this cloned mutant.

    How very interesting! It seems that maintenance is very important to avoid them becoming overbearing and misshapen. I love your macros.

    Good catch! Do they grow large & stately like the traditional elms?
