There are plenty of elm trees in the Windsor area. I have a few small (~8"
DBH) on my small property. There are a number of large specimens in town.

Can anyone comment on the species they likely would be? The history of
Dutch Elm here is fuzzy for me. Internet sources state elms were often
planted here since ca.1800s. Was European White Elm, *Ulmus laivis* widely
planted in towns, or are these likely the native *Ulmus americana*? It
seems differentiating the species isn't straightforward. Whatever the
species, they are putting out seed now. Are there any concerns or
guidelines for propagating elms now, in the age of dutch elm disease?

Thanks

*Dave in Curry's Corner *
