Summary[edit] Description: English: Zelkova carpinifolia at Dulwich Common, London. Date: 4 October 2007. Source: Own work. Author: Richard Cooper. Camera location 51° 26′ 28.46″ N, 0° 05′ 05.55″ W : View all coordinates using: OpenStreetMap - Google Earth: 51.441240; -0.084874. This fine Zelkova carpinfolia is at the crossroads at Dulwich Common in South London and was/is a significant landmark. It is diagonally opposite to the pond. It was heavily pollarded in the early 2010s because of concerns from Transport For London about it's leaning trunk. TFL wished to fell the tree but there was a long campaign, both locally and further afield to prevent this. Eventually the tree was saved from being felled but the compromise reached was that the tree would be heavily pollarded, and the work was carried out. In 2015 there is significant regrowth but not right to the end of the many large stumps that still remain. Some regrowth has died back.
