I'm bored so... Re: MI tree height

The guy should just STFU.


Dutch elm disease has devastated the state. I live here and I can tell you that the trees are not the right height. Well, not all of them anyways.

There are lots of elms (e.g., Asian species) that are resistant to Dutch elm disease. But they don't have the long-favored growth form of the American elm. Horticulturists have been making progress in developing cultivars of American elm with some resistance and that have a growth form similar to the true American elm.
