Changing Seasons Growth Stages Questions

[PinkFloydEffect]

I'm trying to do a 1 year time lapse in MA on a small American Elm on a farm, but I'm hoping you guys can help me out with the growth timing. I plan to return every other week or twice a month on average, but I don't think that I need to visit during December, January, or February besides for 1 big snow storm. But then again I think that I may need to visit much more frequently than every other week during the fall when the leaves are falling, and also during the spring when the buds are opening. Again I live on the East coast of North America in MA, so any advice would be appreciated!

You may know this already. Ulmus americana produces flower and seed and will some times drop the seed before the leaves have fully opened. You may want to look to your local Horticulture Dept. for the specific degrees and days to get it right. Let you know if I find a flwring time, we should be roughly the same zone.
Sounds like fun, the best of luck!

No I did not know this, you mean I could capture an Elm releasing a seed?

I'm pretty sure, I mean I have been filming a documentary film on Dutch Elm Disease for over a year now it's a 2 year long filming process, this is just once shot/scene. But I can spot an elm tree from as far as my line of sight, it's just weather or not it's pure dominant AMERICAN elm is what I have difficulty with. I know American has a longer and skinnier leaf and other strains have a shorter fatter leaf. I have even seen a fully grown Wych Elm that looked like an American Elm until I got up close and saw the leafs.

I do have this book however:

Elm

Yeah I like the Peterson guides aswell. Eastern forests and shrooms and birds.
The flower and seed will help with its true to type when the time comes.
Why the Elm? Personal favorite? We have one in Terra Cotta, Ontario makes the 80' or so Spuce right beside it look like a dwarf. Biggest hardwood I've ever seen. Except maybe a Liriodendron in Dundas. Our generation really missed out on this super duper canopy. Our children in their old age will get to see them again in all there grandeur.
My favorite is Castanea dentata.

Oh really? That would help me, if I can find them on the ground.
Elm is my favorite because of their shape and shade, and their history. People need to be more aware of one when they see it so they can treasure it knowing it will be almost extinct by the time they are old. Basically everyone in the 70s was aware of the DED danger and they knew what an Elm tree looked like. From the mid 80's-Now people don't even know what DED is because it has already made it's wipe through so knone sees the trees coming down anymore there for it's lost it's attention. And now that we are at the end, people need to treasure the few that are left and the topic needs to be brought back to the table.
