[Opinions] Re: Elowen
Depressing meaning: there are hardly any elm trees left any more. I don't find the sound attractive either.

There's lots of elms in my city! I even live in an area named "Elmwood" for the trees. Of course, most of them are slowly dying from that Dutch Elm disease....
Wait, really? I wasn’t aware elm trees were disappearing. :o
As Chloe says, it's called Dutch Elm Disease and it's deadly to full-grown trees. They can still grow to a certain height, I forget what, but not very tall, and then they die. In the UK, that is: we don't have them where I live.
