Dead Elms along North Aston Road At one time Elms were large woodland trees, a common sight all over the country.
Wiped out as such by Dutch Elm Disease, a fungal infection spread by bark beetles, elms can continue to regenerate from root stock but the shoots will only survive until the bark is mature enough to attract the beetles.
This picture shows what happens. The nearest tree is still healthy, but is now at an age where it can be infected. This is probably its final year.
Next is one which has managed to put out a few leaves  this year, but is clearly not going to survive.
Dead ones are beyond. This looks like the future for the once mighty Elm, unless some miracle cure is found or an immunity develops.
