There are a few Very Large Elms (3+ ft. Dia.) around the corner from me. So we do have a few old survivors here. I also spotted an old chestnut tree in a neighbors yard. It's the only one i've seen around here.

I tried to find a pic of the 278 year old "mother" elm but could not locate anything. I thought i did see a pic many years ago when i got my princeton elm but not 100% sure?

This is the bark on my Princeton Elm. Out front.
From the main trunk and up into the branching.
As u can see the bark varies quite a bit as you go up the tree. (It's roughly a 20 year old tree)
