Hi Jim

An interesting question about the type of elm.  How many elm species are 
there?

Thanks.

Liz

MARCH 23, 2012 -  Pat Chalmers found ELM in bloom yesterday in Halifax --  
what species of elm?.  So today I  checked the young American? elm that I 
watch every year at the edge of the Acadia Arena parking lot; its flower 
buds are quite swollen but not open yet.  Very nearby are two planted silver 
maples and a red maple that I also monitor every Spring: the red maple has 
quite swollen flower-buds, but the female silver maples have open crimson 
flowers/catkins.

Jim
