Ulmus chenmoui, the Langya Mountain Elm...a Chinese Elm with nice flowers!

Plus a pretty good resistance to Dutch Elm Disease and many of the other maladies that tend to affect Elms. This tree overhangs the China Valley Path most of the way down the valley. Pat planted it and recalls having to stand it up and stake it at some point. It seems to be well established and firmly rooted at this point. The abundant fleshy green flowers are surely something though.
