    🦠 What Is Dutch Elm Disease?

    Dutch Elm Disease is caused by the fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, which spreads through elm bark beetles and root grafts between trees. The disease blocks water transport within the tree, leading to wilting, dieback, and ultimately death.

    Key signs to look for:

    • Sudden wilting or yellowing leaves, often starting on a single branch

    • Leaf curling or browning in early summer

    • Brown streaks under the bark when the outer layer is removed

    • Dieback from the top down

    • Bark discolouration or small beetle exit holes

    If you see these symptoms in your elm tree, contact Eastern Tree & Garden Specialists right away.

    🚨 Why Dutch Elm Disease Needs Immediate Action

    Dutch Elm Disease spreads quickly and silently, often killing an infected tree within a single season. Delaying action can risk nearby trees, especially in areas with mature elm populations like Newmarket and Suffolk.

    By removing and responsibly disposing of infected trees, you can help contain the outbreak and protect the wider tree canopy. Attempting to prune or treat these trees without expert help can accelerate the spread.

    ❓FAQs About Dutch Elm Disease in Newmarket, Suffolk

    1. What causes Dutch Elm Disease?

    Dutch Elm Disease is caused by a fungus that spreads through elm bark beetles and root systems, attacking the tree’s ability to transport water.

    2. Can Dutch Elm Disease be treated?

    There is no cure, but early detection and removal of infected trees can stop the spread. Preventative injections may help in select cases.

    3. What does an infected elm tree look like?

    You’ll notice yellowing or browning leaves, starting on one branch, followed by wilting and dieback from the crown downwards. Brown streaks in the sapwood are another sign.

    4. When is the best time to prune elm trees?

    Only prune elms in winter when beetle activity is low. Avoid pruning in the warmer months as this attracts beetles and increases infection risk.

    5. How should infected wood be disposed of?

    It must be removed professionally and either chipped and burned or disposed of in line with local regulations. We handle this safely.

    6. Is it safe to plant new elms in Suffolk?

    Yes, but choose disease-resistant varieties and avoid planting near existing infected trees. We can help you select and plant suitable options.
