What Dutch elm disease does to a tree
Dutch elm disease is a fungal disease that affects the vascular system of the elm, causing rapid wilting and failure in all American and European species of elm.
The scale of the damage has been severe: millions of elms throughout North America and Europe have died due to this disease since it arrived on the continent.
Treatment options available today
Today, many new treatments are available to combat Dutch elm disease, including a new biological control agent that helps manage the fungus.
In addition to direct treatment, hybrid elms and several new selections of American elm that show resistance to the disease have been developed, giving property owners more resilient options when replacing or planting elms.
