We've lost maybe 1/8 of our tree's crown, which may mean we're just delaying its death, but if we get ten more years of shade it would be good. Guess we better start growing another one soon.Sandy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08650640470141210550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12003779.post-1118368143958872452005-06-09T21:49:00.000-04:002005-06-09T21:49:00.000-04:00uh oh...now I think I had better worry about my el...uh oh...now I think I had better worry about my elm tree.

We procrastinated for quite a while on the Dutch elm prevention, but it was abundantly clear to us this spring that we had to choose between immediate preventive treatment, and removal. Removal would cost thousands of dollars, and I really <I>like</I> that tree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
