  Dutch Elm Disease
Native elm bark beetles overwinter as larvae in bark or as adults.
When a single elm tree in a row becomes infected, the fungus may move systemically down the diseased tree into the roots and then into an adjacent healthy tree through a root graft.
The Siberian elm (Ulmus pumila, sometimes incorrectly referred to as Chinese elm, and the true Chinese or lacebark elm (Ulmus parvifolia) are resistant to the disease and also are adapted to growing conditions in the state.

 Dutch Elm Disease
Trees infected through root grafts wilt and die rapidly; this frequently occurs in the spring soon after the trees have leafed out and progresses from the base of the tree upward.
Discoloration of the sapwood caused by Dutch elm disease.
Since elm bark beetles breed in dead elm wood with intact bark and in weak or dying elm trees, the first steps toward control of the beetle involve the destruction of all dead or dying elm wood present in the community.

 botanical.com - A Modern Herbal | Elm, Common - Herb Profile and Information
Elm wood is used for keels and bilge planks, the blocks and dead eyes of rigging and ship's pumps, for coffins, wheels, furniture, turned articles and general carpenter's work.
Elm boards are largely used for lining the interior of carts, wagons and wheelbarrows on account of the extreme toughness of the wood, and it has been much employed in the past for making sheds, most of the existing farm buildings being covered with elm.
Moreover, the Common Elm has a profuse undergrowth of young shoots round the base of the trunk and few are to be seen round that of the Wych Elm.

 Elm Tree Disease (Part 3)
From time to time, virtually all elm trees will show a condition known as bacterial wetwood or "slime flux." The symptoms of this disease are easily identified as a foul-smelling liquid oozing from bark cracks, wounds, and large branch crotches.
The oozing liquid is caused by a bacterial infection in the heartwood of the tree.
Bacterial wetwood is usually not the cause of the death of the tree.

 Elm tree   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In the home-meadow of an old English grange the row of Elms will generally be clamorous with the hoarse voices of rooks, who are seen in spring deftly arranging the dead twigs of winter to form those homes which, when deserted, wave among the bare branches like blots upon the sky.
The timber of the Elm is too useful to be thus wantonly destroyed.
I have often fancied the tree was afraid of me, and that a sort of shiver came over it, as over a betrothed maiden when she first stands before the unknown to whom she has been plighted.

 Elm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elms are deciduous and semi-deciduous trees comprising the genus Ulmus, family Ulmaceae, found throughout the Northern Hemisphere from Siberia to Indonesia, Mexico to Japan.
There are between 20 to 45 species of elm; the ambiguity in the number is a result of difficult species delimitations in elms, owing to the ease of hybridization between them and the development of local seed-sterile vegetatively-propagated microspecies in some areas, mainly in the field elm group.
Elm wood was valued for its interlocking grain, and consequent resistance to splitting, with significant uses in wheels, chair seats and coffins.

 Diseases of the Elm Tree (Part 2)
In all cases where Dutch elm disease is confirmed, the infected tree must be fully removed and all wood burned or buried in a designated landfill.
When it emerges from the tree, this fluid is invaded by numerous yeasts, fungi and bacteria, which only serve to heighten the fetid odour of the brown slime running down the tree.
A few trees with slightly higher than normal levels of resistance survived and eventually re-populated the islands with elms which are resistant to that disease.

 Allan McCollum | PARABLES | The Great Elm Returns
One of the stragglers is Denny Townsend, a mild-mannered tree geneticist at the National Arboretum's research farm in Glenn Dale, Md. He drives a 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 with 107,000 miles on it; it replaced a Chevy Caprice with 199,000 miles.
Townsend concentrates on elm trees that have survived outbreaks of Dutch elm disease.
In 1992, when the trees were 6- to 13-feet tall, Townsend injected each tree with one million spores of the most aggressive strains of Dutch elm disease, a far more lethal dose than the 10 to 100 spores that trees get in nature.

 Saving the American Elm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The cause of this pervasive syndrome of wilt and dieback was a parasitic fungus.
If a tree has been received bare-root, the roots should be spread out so that the tree will develop in a well-anchored fashion, and they should be positioned so that their direction is more outward than downward.
The roots of American elm trees do not interfere with pavements even at close proximity, nor with the health of lawns, but the trees should be spaced widely enough to allow for adequate expression of their eventual forms.

 ElmC
Dutch Elm disease is so named, since it was identified in 1919 in the Netherlands, although the strain had been known since 1818.
Incisions are made in the branches to reach the sap and this is be the beginning of the end for the tree because the beetles infect the sap with the fungus.
All Elms have in common the fact that the leaves are slightly uneven at the bottom (near the stalk) and that their leaves are double-toothed (that means that the zig-zaggy edges, or teeth, around the edge of the leaves, themselves have little teeth).

 Wych Elm Tree
From the resemblance of the name--which is indeed not infrequently written "Witch"--the tree has been considered a preservative against witchcraft, and in the midland counties a small piece of its wood used accordingly to be let into the churns, under the belief that without it the butter would not come.
As a park tree, no variety excels this typical form, which is seen to the best advantage when standing alone, as the drooping boughs are then able to display all their natural grace of curvature.
