Wych Elm. 2009. col. photogr. 148 p. gr8vo. Hardcover.
Wych Elm is a celebration of a quintessentially British tree. It describes the ecological and cultural history of a tree species ravaged by Dutch elm disease but still thriving in one of its last European strongholds in the Highlands and west coast of Scotland. The cycle of life, death and rebirth runs through the book and the wych elm emerges as a phoenix tree.
