  European White Elm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European White Elm Ulmus laevis is a large tree native to Europe, from France northeast to southern Finland, and southeast to Bulgaria and the Crimea; there is also a disjunct population in the Caucasus.
Like other European elms, it has little innate resistance to Dutch elm disease, but is eschewed by the vector bark beetles and only rarely becomes infected.
The fruit is a winged samara 15 mm long and 10 mm broad with a single round 5 mm seed maturing in late spring.

 Elm Bark Beetles in North America: Native Elm Bark Beetle and European Elm Bark Beetle
Both are exclusive carries of Dutch elm disease and spread the disease by moving from an infected tree to a healthy tree.
The European elm bark beetle passes the winter as larvae within the folds of the bark.
This fungus is carried on the bodies of both the European elm bark beetle and the native elm bark beetle as sticky spores.

 Problems of Elm
The European elm bark beetle and the native bark beetle are the major elm pests, partly because they burrow under the bark as larvae and spread the Dutch elm disease.
Dutch Elm Disease - This lethal fungus is spread from tree to tree by Elm bark beetles, as well as by natural inter-grafting of tree roots.
Elm Phloem Necrosis - This disease is thought to be caused by a mycoplasma-like organism (MLO), similar to a virus.

 elm   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Elms are deciduous trees of the genus Ulmus, family Ulmaceae.
There are between 20 to 45 species of elm; the ambiguity in the number is a result of difficult species delimitations in elms, due to the ease of hybridisation between them and the development of local seed-sterile vegetatively-propagated microspecies in some areas, mainly in the field elm group.
This is a fungal disease that is borne by a vector, the elm-bark beetle.

 T. Driscoll (Veneers) Ltd. - Elm Veneer
Elm is basically a fairly difficult timber to work, tending to pick up during planing and moulding, and to bind on the saw.
Wych elm is similar to oak in most strength properties, and almost equal to ash in toughness.
While its uses are similar as those of English or Dutch elm, it is in greater demand for boat-building because of its straight grain and milder characteristics, for planking, keels, and deadwood.

 Elm
The causal fungus is carried in the mouth and on the bodies of the elm bark beetle, and trees are inoculated during feeding in the early spring.
This is the larva of the mourning cloak butterfly that lays eggs in cylindrical clusters on the small twigs of elm, poplar and willow.
They are striped lengthwise with brown and yellow, and are hairy, with four upright white tufts on the front half, two long fl hairs near the head, and a similar one on the tail.

 Dutch Elm Disease
The smaller European elm bark beetle feeds in small twigs, usually high in the crown, while the native elm bark beetle bores under the bark of branches 2-4 inches in diameter to feed.
Unless elm bark beetles are associated with Dutch elm disease, there is usually little need for control measures as the beetles' feeding and boring activity does not harm trees that are in a vigorous condition.
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.

 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.
Elm wood was valued for its interlocking grain, and consequent resistance to splitting, with significant uses in wheels, chair seats and coffins.
Elms take many decades to grow to maturity, and as the introduction of these cultivars is relatively recent, their performance and ultimate size cannot be predicted with certainty.

 Conservation of genetic resources of European elms
The third elm species native to Europe, the European white elm (U. laevis Pall.), is less attractive to the elm bark beetle (Scolytus sp.) which spreads the spores of the fungus causing the disease (Ophiostoma novo-ulmi Brasier).
However, the statement that ‘elms are endangered species’ needs to be scrutinized and the situation of each elm species must be considered separately.
Factors of importance in elm gene conservation must be discussed before practical recommendations for the implementation of elm gene conservation can be made.

 Native Elm Bark Beetle Control
While it occurs along with the smaller European elm bark beetle (Scolytus multistriatus) in the southern one-third of the state, it is normally the exclusive vector of Dutch elm disease, Ophiostoma (Ceratocystis) ulmi, in the northern two-thirds of Minnesota.
Gallery construction is directly opposite for the smaller European elm bark beetle which forms egg-laying galleries vertically (with the wood grain) and has larval galleries running across the wood grain.
Crown spraying of elms to reduce beetle populations is not recommended, nor is it as effective as trunk treatments for native elm bark beetle control.

 Elm Yellows
Elm species of European or Asiatic origin, and hybrids between these and native species tolerant or immune.
The response of Chinese elm is known from experiments in which the yellows agent was transmitted by grafting bark patches from diseased red elm.
One vector of the elm yellows agent is the white-banded elm leafhopper, Scaphoideus luteolus.

 American Elm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elms have been able to survive and to reproduce in areas where the disease had eliminated old trees, although most of these young elms eventually succumb to the disease at a relatively young age.
Although the European elm bark beetle is known to have occurred across southern and central Alberta, it does not appear to be carrying the disease in these areas.
In years past, the American elm was used widely as a shade tree and as a street tree, because of its graceful, arching, vase-like growth form and its tolerance of most stress factors.

 Exotic Wood elm
In particular, both of the names "red elm" and "rock elm" each are used to refer to numerous different Ulmus species, even though in both cases the species that they refer to have characteristics that are different enough that they should NOT be give the same name.
Well, it was INTENDED to be elm highlights, with narra highlights at 90 degrees from this, but the narra and the elm ended up swamping out the body due to poor planning on my part.
I was, of course, turning across the grain on the narra and the elm which made the whole job rather tedious and required a lot of final turning with sandpaper.

VARIETIES This species, as limited here to the European and Caucasian small-leaved lime, displays little variation in the wild state, the varieties1 established by Schneider on the shape and size of the leaf and the amount of the pubescence on the fruit, being probably due to soil conditions, and not worth enumerating.
Tilia 1673 TIMBER The wood of the lime is pale yellow or white, light, soft, and close-grained, and is not liable to become worm-eaten.
This species, which promises to be a beautiful ornamental tree, is readily distinguished from the other limes with a pure white under surface to the leaves, by the glabrous branchlets and petioles, and the crenately serrate orbicular leaves.

 Alien Invasive Species: Impacts on Forests and Forestry - A Review
Dutch elm disease is a wilt disease caused by a pathogenic fungus, Ophiostoma ulmi sensu lato, which is spread by specialized bark beetles that breed under the bark of dying elm trees (Stack, McBride and Lamey, 1996).
Asian elm species are generally much less susceptible than Euro-American native elms and although the Chinese elm (Ulmus parvifloia) is occasionally infected by the disease, it is much less susceptible than American elm.
European starlings cost hundreds of millions of dollars in agricultural damage each year and contribute to the decline of local native bird species through competition for resources and nesting space.

 Invasive insects in Wyoming   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Roughly 50 miles north, BEBB was confirmed in a Siberian elm windbreak south of Terry Ranch Road south of Cheyenne, Wyoming (Laramie County) on September 29th, 2003 (Figure 1).
The large Siberian elm in the background was verified as infested on September 29th, 2003 and will most likely die in summer 2004.
Currently there are no literature citations found that suggest this beetle is known to transmit any pathogenic organism but there is speculation that it would be 'well qualified' as a potential vector of Dutch elm disease since BEBB is related to the smaller European elm bark beetle which is a vector for Dutch elm disease.
