Experts Dubious About New Approach To Dutch Elm Cure
In Iowa, the Iowa State Fair Board paid 2000 to a Muscatine tree surgeon claiming to cure Dutch elm disease with the X-D.E.A. injection. Experts doubt the method, noting the disease fungus tolerance and lack of proven success, while some communities tout short-term greening and seek more injections.
