<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">I just saw Dr. Charles E. Flower, Research Ecologist with the USDAFS, present on his team's research
of DED at the ISA Conference in Ohio this past week. Some sections of the following proceedings address condition but I'm sure there's a lot to say on the topic </span><a href="https://www.fs.fed.us/nrs/pubs/gtr/gtr_nrs-p-174.pdf" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk779358" previewremoved="true"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">https://www.fs.fed.us/nrs/pubs/gtr/gtr_nrs-p-174.pdf</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"> </span></span><br>

<div>Hello Canufnet:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do you know of any research that indicates whether resistance to DED is affected by tree health/vigour? Much of what I can find indicates that trees are being selected based on their resistance to DED but it isn't clear if the tree is just not susceptible
to DED or whether it is actively fighting the disease. If the latter, one would expect that the tree would be more prone to infection when it has been otherwise compromised (e.g., new sidewalk cut into its roots.) Thoughts?</div>
