Jim Jepsen of Dobyns Pest Control made a presentation to the Heppner City Council on October 11 advising the council of the problem. The American Elms in City Park have been positively identified with the disease. "There is no cure for the disease once it has infected the tree," said a news release. "Sadly, those trees must be removed.." The George Washington and Martha Washington elms planted in the island of City Park are two of the infected trees. These trees were planted in 1932 to commemorate the one hundred year anniversary of George Washington's birthday. In order to save other American elms in the area it is necessary that the trees be completely removed to below the soil level, continued the release. Dead and dying elms infected with Dutch elm disease are a prime source of spread for the disease. Replacement trees V of a different variety will be replanted at a later date. Elm bark beetles that tunnel into Dutch elm disease infected wood pick up spores of the fungus that causes the disease and pass the disease to healthy trees when they bore into them. Because the disease is still present in wood cut from the trees, it is important that all affected wood be burned, chipped or buried and stumps removed to at least eight inches below ground level For this reason, unless the wood is to be burned within a short time, affected elm wood should never be stored as firewood unless it is treated according to recommendations by the Morrow County Extension Agent. The disease may also be spread from tree to tree through root grafts where trees are grow ing within fifty feet of each other. Several other elms in Heppner have been identified with the disease. Homeowners concerned with their trees should contact Kathryn Kettel at the Morrow' County Extension office at 676-9642 for more information.
