Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The things at the top of the page are elm or wych elm seeds. Too early to be ripe, I think, so blown down?

Thanks for all your help in the identification, i'll have a look at my wildflower books and try to find the match. Wych Elm looks more likely than Linden. Is it possible that the squirrels which seem to like the trees are responsible for a lot of the seed leaves being on the ground? It hadn't been that windy.

It isn't lime / linden blossom; definitely young seed, and probably elm / wych elm.

Squirrels or birds could be pulling it down, but we had heavy rain and hail last week, brought lots of tree flowers down, especially ash, but some sycamore and wych elm.
