Dutch elm disease not from holland!!

[corylus]

It's called "Dutch" elm disease because it's equally shared between English and Wych Elm

interesting as whilst having lunch had local gardining programe on and they were talking about diseses of trees and DED was mentioned. it looks as if those elms still surviving have a resistance to the bettle larvae and strains from this are being grown to replace those killed by the larvae of the beetle.

sp may see more elms growing again. a nice tree to see

Was working in a garden in Derbyshire last Tuesday, biggest damn wych elm I've ever seen!

I would be interested in knowing where that elm in your pic is graham, is it local?

I once had a fair argument with a pub quizmaster over the origin of DED. He's book said Holland :sneaky2:and I'd just read a FC book on the disease:001_rolleyes:

 

Just saying:lol:

It's just off the Stafford-Eccleshall road on the turning to Chebsey.

Something else i didn't know.

 

Love it. Frank Spencer used to say "every day in every way I'm getting better and better".

By the way, studies of pollen records showed there was a sharp decline around the early Neolithic era in elm, they believe that may also be due to DED
