Wych Elm ulmus glabra
Wych elm occurs throughout Scotland, but was originally more common in the south east Borders area, where there were formerly forests of wych elm.
Mature trees can grow to a height of 30m. The bark is smooth and grey when young, becoming grey-brown and fissured after 20 years. Twigs are dark grey and covered in coarse hairs, and leaf buds are hairy, purple-black and squat in shape.
As a results of Dutch elm disease, wych elm is now found very infrequently.
Nina Munday –
My son and daughter bought me this jewellery box for Christmas. I am so glad that they chose this design because it matches a mirror that I have of a similar design by the same designer.
This jewellery box is elegant and practical. I would definitely recommend Neil Martin as a designer to anyone who likes to buy furniture items that are unique and gorgeous to look at.
