A dead wych elm

I remember elm trees being a common tree before Dutch elm disease wiped them out in the 1970s. Three years ago I was surprised to see a young wych elm tree growing here SO6856 : A wych elm at Lower Brockhampton and sadly as appears to happen the young trees still succumb to this disease.

Dutch elm disease

This pattern on the trunk of a dead wych elm tree was caused by the elm bark beetle which carries the fungi which causes Dutch elm disease and killed the tree.
