Information Regarding Dutch Elm Disease

Alberta Elm Pruning Ban Starts April 1st, 2008

Elm sanitation is essential to an integrated Dutch Elm Disease (DED) prevention program. The only time it is legal to prune elms in Alberta is from October 1st to March 31st. During this time, the elm bark beetles, which are responsible for spreading the deadly DED fungus, are not active.

"Elm bark beetles feed on healthy elms and breed over winter in dead and dying elm trees, " says Janet Feddes-Calpas, Plantuition Inc., administrator of Alberta's Society to Prevent Dutch Elm Disease (STOPDED) prevention program. "If elm trees are pruned between April 1st and September 30th, these vectors of the disease will be drawn to the scent of the fresh pruning cuts, potentially attracting infested beetles and infecting otherwise healthy elm."

Having trees pruned properly is important. Many trees are killed or ruined annually from improper pruning. Pruning, like any other skill, requires knowledge and should be done by a professional certified arborist who can determine what type of pruning is necessary to maintain or improve the health, appearance and safety of the trees.

"Topping, or removing an excessive amount of live wood is not recommended and will weaken the tree's structure and shorten its lifespan," says Feddes-Calpas. "It is essential that all dead wood be removed and properly disposed of by burning, burying or chipping by March 31st."
