Do I have an Elm Tree?

Here are three simple ways to identify if you have Ash Trees

Opposing Branches

Examine the Leaves

Elm leaves alternative in a “V” pattern on the two sides of the stem. The leaf is also oval in shape and comes to a point at the end.

Compound Leaves

Rough Bark

The bark of an elm is coarse and rough to the touch. It usually has light grey or darkish brown color.

Diamond Bark Pattern

Co-Dominate Trunk

Elm trees normally have a co-dominate or branched trunk. There might be two or more trunks branching away from the base trunk.

Should I be worried about DED?

Absolutely. If you have Elm Trees then the Dutch Elm Disease can infect your trees and ruin a mature landscape. We recommend that you contact a preferred tree care professional to help you combat the future of your Elm trees.
