Dutch Elm disease threat urged in Massachusetts towns
Dr Malcolm A Hiekenne of the Shade Tree Disease Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts warns New England elms are at risk of wipeout without public action. He cites 1060 Bay State elms attacked this year and cases in 94 Massachusetts towns. He urges reporting wilted elms to local wardens or the lab, noting removal and burning of diseased wood may save many trees and prevent spread by elm bark beetles.
