DED (Dutch Elm Disease) is spread to healthy trees by a native beetle in Eastern Canada and the European elm bark beetle, an introduced species now found throughout Southern BC. Elms damaged by DED can become colonized by the Dutch elm disease fungus. Beetles tunnel under the bark, boring out galleries where they breed, then in the spring, a new generation hatches to spread fungal pores to neighbouring healthy wood. Part of the prevention plan for DED is to purchase your nursery stock from a local, reliable source, and never transport elm firewood with the bark attached, as the this could be harbouring beetles. Look for signs of branch death, brown or red streaks in the wood, and wilting leaves.

Treatments may include the application of environmentally friendly products such as non-toxic insecticidal soaps that control a broad range of bugs, including caterpillars and beetles. Deep root fertilization will also help, as it boosts the health and resilience of your trees.

The Siberian Elm is an introduced deciduous tree found throughout the Okanagan Valley. Seedlings can be pulled, but beware you\u2019re not removing a desirable tree! This Elm is often confused with other species of elm and choke cherries. We\u2019ll be writing about the Siberian Elm in our invasive tree series\u2019 next post.
