The Tragedy of the Elm

Both English elms Ulmus procera and wych elm Ulmus glabra are found in Ireland. While Dutch elm disease strikes the English species most readily, very few elm appear to be immune. There are some fine survivors left, like this one in the Blackwater River Valley in south Tyrone.

Many are associated with large houses and estates: Benvarden, North Antrim, has a fine wych elm on the front lawn.
