[CANUFNET] Dutch Elm Disease

[Mike James]

My client has expressed the below concern.  Is there any science to support that Dutch Elm is being passed between trees through connecting root structures?

We are wondering about Dutch Elm Disease. He heard that it spread the fastest from tree to tree when the roots are touching.We realize this would preclude us from putting two or more elms in the same tree trench. Have you ever encountered this? Is it a big concern?
