Which elm? Why, the Wych elm, of course.
Sadly, the wych elm is also susceptible to Dutch Elm Disease according to:
http://www.forestry.gov.uk/fr/HCOU-4U4JCL
Quote: "Our main native elms, English elm (U. procera), smooth-leaved
elm (U. carpinifolia or U. minor) and wych elm (U. glabra) are all
susceptible..."
It is, however, the least susceptible of those.
