GREEN WYCH CONFETTI

Green confetti on the ground tells you you are under or near to a Wych Elm (Ulmus glabra).


These are the fruits which follow the unobtrusive flowers in March.


The tree can look as if it is in bright green leaf in early April, when bunches of these fruits are on every twig, but by now most of the fruits have fallen and the leaves are opening.


The wych elm pictured here is in the Leisure Centre car park near the skatepark.
