It is not unusual for Elms to product leaves late in the season. However,
were both of these tree protected for the winter, i.e., placed under
cover, or
were they left outside to face the elements. Frequent freeze-thaw cycles
can
disrupt root pads and lead to this kind of problem.

Hi and thanks for your help.
As it turns out, and matches your advice, the elm buds are now showing signs
of green, so yeah, it was later.
I didn't realise with the maple that it was a natural thing. The
furriness(sp?) seem to be a casing which today show signs of breaking open
and I can see the leaves.
I have the advantage here of no snow, no sub zero temps. In winter we may
get a frost or few, with the lowest temps reaching about 0 degs celcius
(freezing point of water) though this is the first year I have taken more
care in protecting them from it.
Thanks again
Andrew

It was just an observation. The trees i saw with this problem were about 15' tall, with lowaest branches at least 4'- 6' above ground. What caught my attention was that they all had similar branch loss. branches at different parts of the tree. i ws odd that eevery other branch sometimes tuned brown. No other signs of problems to the branch until it just turned brown. no yellowing or wilting. i was only concerned whether there was a disease in infestation going around Long Island
Thank you for you information
