Kathy Kunc of Port Townsend shows off the 150-year-old Camperdown Elm, which was featured Saturday as part of the Secret Garden Tour hosted by the Jefferson County Masters Gardeners Foundation. Every Camperdown in the world is part of the original. It was first grown in 1640 by the Earl of Camperdown, in Dundee, Scotland, when he noticed a branch growing on the floor of his elm forest. He grafted it to a Scotch elm tree and it took hold, producing the first Camperdown Elm. (Steve Mullensky/for Peninsula Daily News)
