Herbie's Last Stand [New England's Largest & Oldest American Elm]

This is all my unused B-roll of Herbie for the 2012 documentary "The War On Dutch Elm Disease"

I made several long long trips to Maine to get footage of Herbie. I was screwed around with by Whitney Tree Service and they made me miss the falling of Herbie!

We lost the elm across the street from us yesterday. It was somewhat smaller.

@FRUNTCASTER Same here, there are less then a dozen mature elms within a 15 mile radius of my home.

Dutch Elm Disease has hit our Elms hard. . .  With only a hundred or so in the cities inventory, they're figuring all will be lost.
