Chrisity May 2020 7:49pm, 10 May 2020 17,562 posts	0 Chrisity 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.

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.
