I have a few young Elm trees, but I know they will soon succumb to this nasty ailment.
I was just wondering if anyone has noticed if there are any plants that protect Elm trees from the dreaded Dutch Elm Disease.
I know there are a few trees that are said to be resistant, but, maybe some are not, and it may be that there is something growing close by that is protecting them.
Just thought someone may have noticed if there is anything growing close by a "resistant" plant.
I believe they were studying disease resistant cultivars, but I hadn't heard of any plants that have a protective effect. If so, I would love to hear about it as I feel the Elms look magnificent when mature. It's a shame what happened to them and the American Chestnut...

They were magnificent, I've not seen a full grown Elm for a long time now, but while looking at old photographs and paintings, I'm seeing what is now missing from the landscape.
They made good wood too.
