Talk:Ulmus minor 'Atinia'

English Elms

In Living Memory 26 November 2008 Wednesday 26 November 2008 11:00-11:30, BBC Radio 4 FM. A radio history programme about the loss of almost all elms in Britain. It said that the "new" species of Dutch Elm Disease came fron the navy importing timber from North America to line their docks, and that the resistant elms bred in Holland are only resistant to the "old" DED, not the new one. As the article says, the only mature elms in Britain are some in Brighton, due to vigilant and anticipatory active management by Brighton Council - well done!! Immature elms still grow wild in hedgerows, but then die very young from the disease. I wonder if it would be possible to show a picture of a pre-1970 english field or hedge with elms in it? Maybe it would be possible to replant some Elms in some places that are isolated from the beetles? Various islands maybe? 78.149.220.232 (talk) 12:01, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

• • Yes, that would be a good idea - island refuges. We need to attempt to find Field Elm strains which show resistance to Dutch Elm disease though and cross them with English Elms to eventually create a hybrid resistant to it. The tree would be bred to look like the English Elm but have the disease resistance, however this would take years to achieve.

I believe that Asheville N.C. has at least two English Elms out in front of Central United Methodist Church, in downtown Asheville, on Church St. they are beautiful, and they are massive. I would love to show anyone interested my pics, or better yet, come visit... Thay are awesome! — Preceding unsigned comment added by James Crotty 75 (talk • contribs) 06:13, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
