Jim, if you know any more details about the disease you are
talking about, please let me know- The only vascular disease of
elm (besides dutch elm disease) that I'm familiar with is "elm
yellows".


Botryosphaeria. It requires an injury to enter (apparently) and
a wound from removing a branch or twig -- or even severe
bendings -- seems to be enough.

This according to our extension forester & U of Fla. tree guys.

BTW, as far as I am concerned Drake elms can all go extinct,
anyway.

people have learned to appreciate and cherish the landscape and
its living cover will they treat it with the care and respect it
should have - Paul Bigelow Sears.
