Dutch Elm Tree Disease. Dutch elm is the most well-known and prevalent wilt disease in the United States. It has been reported to infect trees in Southlake, Texas and other surrounding cities. The spread of this disease has increased dramatically in Dallas and surrounding areas such as Flower Mound (Delhi), Southlake, Lufkin (Waco), Lufkin (San Antonio), and elsewhere over the past decade. American elms are extremely susceptible. Arbor professionals believe these areas have been greatly affected since this elm species thrives in these locations.

This deadly disease is rapidly spreading and should only be handled by an experienced tree company. Dutch elm is a disease that attacks the cells of trees and prevents healthy flow and nutrients from the roots up to the trunk and branches and finally to the leaves. Dutch elm illness spreads quickly to the tree limbs. Young branches develop curled, hook-like ends and begin dying within weeks.
