Abstract

Although many Dutch elm disease-resistant elm cultivars are available in the nursery trade, many people are hesitant to purchase and plant an elm tree due to their traumatic memories of the damage caused by this devastating fungal disease. In order to promote interest in planting these Dutch elm disease-resistant trees, scientific data on their survival, growth, form, and pest resistance are essential.
