The real tree

  • Ulmus minor
  • Family Ulmaceae

A deciduous tree of hedges and countryside, hard hit by Dutch elm disease.

And in the ogham?

No. The elm is not among the letters of the ogham, the alphabet of early Ireland from which Robert Graves drew his tree calendar: like ten other trees of the horoscope, it was added later.

Dates: majority version of four published tables. Traits: those the tree horoscope lends (Gerbeaud). Botany: Wikipedia and Wikidata. Ogham: Wikipedia (after McManus and the Auraicept na n-Éces).
