In the yard book of plant disease men, a "flag” is a branch with brown leaves among green branches. If you see such a flag in your elm, you can be fairly certain that Dutch elm disease is creeping in. Strip the bark from the dying branch. Large brown streaks just beneath tell you the tree has the disease Dutch elm disease is caused by the elm bark beetle, which carries the disease from a sick tree to a well tree in the late spring. A number of chemicals are on the market, but science has not come up with a chemical or treatment that can guarantee absolute suc cess in beating the disease. If you sec the flag distress signal in your elm, contact a tree expert in your area to determine wheather it's worth a try to rid the disease. I or to remove the tree be 1 fore it becomes an incubator for future elm bark beetles.
