Gorgeous specimen, totally agree on it being the finest in central London. The fluted trunk texture on Zelkova carpinifolia is underrated, makes them so distincitve compared to similar elms. I actualy stumbled on this one by accident last year during a random Hyde Park walk and spent way too long just studying the bark and branch structure.

As well as being the finest in central London, I think it might be the only one too! I guess that makes it even more special.
How beautiful, Paul!
And with the gorgeous colours of the flowers in the foreground this really lifted my heart this evening.
Thank you! 🌳
It’s a great setting, although it’s called the rose garden, I struggled to get any actual roses into the frame.
