One of Toronto's oldest elm trees is on its last legs. Researchers are racing to re-grow copies

Forest ecologist and U of T instructor Eric Davies says the white elm is one of the oldest in the city. He and his students measured the trunk's height at 40 metres and its circumference at 5.5 metres.

One of the largest old elm trees in Toronto — possibly in all of southern Ontario — is on its last legs. But as the city finalizes plans to take down the Barton Street landmark next week, a University of Toronto tree expert is determined to ensure it will live again.
