In the city of Dnepr and Dnipropetrovsk region (Ukraine) many damaged trees Ulmus pumila are found in 2021 -2022. Other elm species are not damaged. These are mainly mature trees. Young trees are affected less frequently. Those trees that became diseased in 2021 are practically dead in 2022. As I understand it, the shoot growth point is damaged. Do you have any information on the possible cause of this elm disease? I would be very grateful for the information. I apologise immediately if I can't answer right away. I often don't have electricity or the internet.
Did you try to cultivate? It looks like fungal disease on young shoots.
We haven't tried to cultivate it yet. But we have already selected young shoots and will do so.
Keep me updated Irina Ivanko . It is very interesting. We did not encounter such deformation here in Slovakia.
Thank you for your interest in this problem. Of course, when I have the results, I will write to you. It's not very simple. I have made arrangements with algologist specialists in Kiev - I will send them samples. Anatomical changes will be studied at our institute. A year ago I didn't see such a mass infestation of Ulmus pumila in the city.
