I am suprised that you planted an Elm Tree. Most of these trees have been dead for many years due to Dutch Elm disease. I grew up in Detroit (in the old days when people actually lived there). Our boulevard street was shated by a cathedral elm branches for many miles. It was very beautiful. The Elm trees have, unfortunately, been gone for decades.
Well it was free at the time... Came from my father in law's place and it was barely a twig... That was 50 years ago and i think some time before the major elm tree disease that nearly wiped them all out...
Thanks much for the information...

Thanks for the sympathy... I will be choosing another that the village will plant for my kids and grandkids to enjoy long after I am gone...
It’s really very sad, Larry...I think you’ve made very smart and noble decision.

I believe DED came to the east coast of this country sometime in the 1920s (if memory serves) on a load of logs slated for furniture making.
Some elm trivia. On the old wooden spoke wagon wheels with the steel “tire”, in the Midwest elm was generally used for the curved outer section the spokes connected to because of its tough flexibility and ability to be steam bent. The spokes were usually hickory for its shock resistance and the hub oak for its hardness, strength and workability.

A good memory can be a blessing sometimes and a curse other times. If I could just remember something that would make me rich...
