Right, Kill 'em early!
I love the calls I get in october about elms flagging. "Really" I say, "Dutch Elm Disease?" " Or is it FALL in New England!?!?":lol:
June, July are the hot months for DED. Best to prune in winter, do not prune after mid April, paint cuts if you have to prune in April or later. did I mention that I hate Elm trees?:D
If it was already infected it'd be toast by now.
Big prob with DED is it will spread by root grafts, flagging=time to call in the removal crew and stump grinder.
Doesn't have to be with the technology we have today. Come for a visit, and see for yourself:D (I hate f-n elm trees! but we have an awesome population of 'em)
Oh boy TC do you have this one wrong. We're talking about a place with elm trees well over 200 years old, sometimes removal/replant just ain't the ansa:)
I think abasol is the trade name of the mauget product that controls the beetle and the fungus itself. We use alamo treatments when DED gets hot and heavy, bidrin and fungisol for maintenance.* (abasol is better IMO, less injections, being the young guy I often get overruled :( )
