I have moved this to plants. That is the proper category. "Other" is reserved for those organisms that cannot fit elsewhere in the groups on PN. Examples include but are not limited to starfish, clams, worms, snails, jellyfish, squid...

And the Elm is correct. This is an American elm or "white elm" tree.

I suppose it's in the Plant Kingdom... there's just a mental barrier there.

Yeah i'm sure plants would make it easier... but it's a tree, so I would feel like I was doing a disservice to the biological science if I called a tree a plant.

It might do better in the plants category :-)

I am not quite sure if elms have types, or what they are, but this looks like an elm!
