A two-story tall Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifolia) grows out of a brick planter box surrounded by concrete and brick sidewalk in front of a busy coffee house on the southeast corner of Columbia and Franklin Streets in downtown Chapel Hill, N.C. The building has big windows and decorative concrete “railing” along the top. A green and white corporate logo of a woman and a starry crown is on the left. To the right are several cars waiting at a stoplight and the façade of a large church across the street. Several other unidentified trees are visible. The sky is light gray.
