New Havens Elms and the Elm Leaf Beetle Legacy
The Elim City once valued for its elms on campus and the Green now mourns neglect toward forethought. Elm leaf beetles arrived about 1834, damaged elms in 1838 in Baltimore, and despite public action, many cities lost their elms. Entomologist Ephraim Porter Fell notes the insect as a major destroyer of elm streets in the Hudson Valley. Efforts in Albany and Troy show control is possible, but public apathy persisted. The piece laments short-sighted civic care and quotes Whiting and Adams on the elm's beauty and the duty toward future generations.
