groovy. we have a nice Zelkova at the entrance gates to Van Dusen gardens here, I took some ID field days there during a ISA prep course pre exam. it was December, blah. most of the leaves we looked at were picked up off the ground and discoloured. The Magnolia was a first impression stab but I guess I was close enough!
