The Village of Caronport has hired Living Tree Environmental Ltd. to inspect trees for Dutch Elm Disease.
Living Tree Environmental Ltd. employees will be in Caronport today, July 7, 2025 to inspect our trees for DED. They will collect branches of the American Elm Trees which have DED symptoms when it is possible and safe to do so.
DED is spread in Saskatchewan by the native elm bark beetle. The DED fungus has sticky spores that become attached to the beetle during its breeding period. The beetle then spreads the fungus when it feeds on and over-winters in healthy elms.
As early as June, the leaves on a DED infected elm will wilt turn yellow, curl and turn brown.
Thank you for your cooperation during this time.
