We are delighted to have secured sole UK amenity rights to the Princeton Elm (Ulmus Americana “Princeton”), originally selected in Princeton, New Jersey, in 1920 and a tree with a proven outstanding tolerance of Dutch Elm Disease, which has claimed more than 20 million trees in Britain since the mid 1970s. In the USA, where it was once said a squirrel could travel from Kentucky to California solely on the canopies of elms, it is believed that more than 90 million trees have succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease.
Following the hottest July in the UK since records began, we can confirm that a species native to China and Korea, and which only seldom flowers in Britain, is now (September 2006) in flower at our Cambridgeshire nursery.
RHS show a Tatton Park July 19th to 23rd 2006
The decision was made back in the autmn of 2005 that Barcham Trees would exhibit at the RHS show at Tatton Park in Cheshire, having completed the application forms, we then waited until February of 2006 to receive the invitation to exhibit.
The workshop is based upon similar training and assessment courses that Claus has previously run in Singapore and is aimed at experienced practitioners who are already reasonably familiar with the concept and principles of visual tree assessment.
On the 6th and 7th May Barcham will be hosting "Green Compost in Arboriculture from Production to Mature Tree Care".
