Answered for Pittsboro, Hendricks County.
Still active. It's why mature American elms are rare here now, and why the ones that survive are worth protecting. In Pittsboro, two completely different tree populations in one small town: the original grid near Meridian and Main carries full-size 80-100 year old shade trees over the roofline, while the post-1997 subdivisions that hold most of Pittsboro's houses are still on 20-to-30-year-old nursery stock planted at the ordinance minimum of 2.5-inch caliper. No municipal tree inventory or canopy study for Pittsboro was found, so species dominance is inferred from housing age and the UDO's planting standards rather than measured. A rapid one-season decline usually means removal.

Flagging — one branch yellows and wilts while the rest looks fine — then rapid decline through the crown.
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.
Preventive injection every two to three years, before symptoms.
