#DoodlewashJanuary2022 Prompt: Elm.

Did you know that the fruit of some elm tree species (called seeds or samaras) are edible? So are the leaves and inner bark of some species.

“E” is also for Excellent! Your colorful Elm tree reminds me of the old, established neighborhoods I lived in. There’s a strength in these trees. You’re so crEative!

  Thank you, Kathy! We used to have such beautiful Elms here in Portland until the blight made it necessary to cut them all down.

I grew up with an elm tree in the front yard. Sadly, Dutch elm disease took it. It was a beautiful tree, like yours !

  We used to have lots of them here in Portland, but Dutch Elm took them all.
