wych elm

She could not see the wych-elm tree, but a branch of the celebrated vine, studded with velvet knobs had covered the perch.

We messed away with a garage all among the wych-elm roots, and last year we enclosed a bit of the meadow and attempted a rockery.

It feeds when young in sallow catkins, and later on low-growing plants, also leaves of sallow and seeds of wych-elm.

It feeds on the seeds of wych-elm, and may be beaten or jarred from the branches in April and May.
