Brookfield’s Camperdown Elm
Famous for its beautiful weeping form, with branches that extend wider than its height.
The Camperdown elm was discovered by the Earl of Camperdown in 1835. He found a twisted branch on one of his Wych elms in the Camperdown House estate in Dundee, Scotland.
The Camperdown elm cultivar was then created by propagating the weeping branch.
Our elm tree is one of the largest in the world.
