American Elm? If so, not so many left.

I wonder if any researchers would be interested in seeds or samples for cloning.

Family story:
My father, back in the depression, got a job topping American Elm trees. This involved climbing to the top of the tree and cutting off the growing tip. The theory at the time was that topping them would save them from dying from Dutch Elm Tree Disease.

That theory did not work out. And American Elm trees are now far less common.

After my father fell 75’ through a tree and somehow landed unhurt at the base of one tree, he decided that the job was not for him. That was one of a number of jobs he tried before he finally settled on what he wanted to do. He went on to get his PhD and become a professor instead.
