Great British elms : the remarkable story of an iconic tree and its return from the brink

Books
A celebration of the British elm that offers positive hope for its future. Since the 1970s nearly all elms in the British Isles have proven to be susceptible to outbreaaks of Dutch elm disease, particularly the eponymous English elm. Millions of trees were lost, their new summer skeletal forms disfiguring the countryside and townscapes quite dramatically. However, the elm was not lost forever. Among all this sudden death and destruction, unnoticed by many, some elms survived the onslaught, and this is the story of their recovery.
