The elm is a symbol of strength of will and intuition. Elm wood is valued for it’s interlocking grain and thus has a resistance to splitting and to decay when permanently wet. During medieval times hollowed trunks of elms were widely used as water pipes. Other significant uses include wheels, chairs and coffins. Native Americans held council beneath the elm and the trees became treaty-making trees between the Indians and whites.

Prophetic picture, don’t you think?
