American Elm

The American Elm which is native to our area can live four hundred years if unaffected by disease. Dutch elm disease, a fungal infection is spread by bark beetles and has left many Elm Streets in the Northeast without any elms at all. We here in Vernon are fortunate to have this mature elm which may be disease resistant, a hybrid, or just sufficiently isolated enough to have escaped DED. - Norma Manning
