Do you know if that Laceback Elm is also resistant to Misteltoe? I
need to make a tree selection before too long. I have a old Modesto
Ash that is riddled with it, and will require replacement.

I have no idea! What a great question.

a quick 'googling' indicates Chinese Pistache (nice tree, a friend has
one and likes it) might work and be m'toe resistant. Or you might find a
taller variety of Crepe Myrtle and train for a tree-like form.

maybe someone knows of a list of relative reisitance to parasites of
various landscape trees.
