Elm Yellows Disease Outlook Looking Up
Last year’s initial panic that Elms Yellows Disease would infect and destroy all the elm trees on campus appears to be a bit overblown. The trees appear to be responding to treatment better than expected. So far, only 37 trees have been or will be cut down out of the 287 on campus.
To keep the dendrophiliac population informed, Penn State has actually devoted an entire subdomain to updates on the situation at elmyellows.psu.edu.
