Elm Disease Now in 51 Iowa Counties
Elm disease is established in Marion Webster and Crawford counties bringing the Iowa total to 51. Combating Dutch elm disease is the property owner's responsibility. Dead or dying elms must be removed promptly to prevent spread. Summer beetle broods emerge and may increase next spring, raising infection risk. Homeowners should prune and burn prunings from healthy elms to reduce fungal and beetle transmission.
