Can a tree with Dutch elm disease be saved?
A rapid one-season decline usually means removal. Fungicide injection can protect a high-value elm that isn't yet infected, but it does not rescue one that is well along.
Timing
Preventive injection every two to three years, before symptoms.
Indiana specifics
Still active. It's why mature American elms are rare here now, and why the ones that survive are worth protecting.
