Branch death, or flagging, at multiple locations in the crown of a diseased elm

Dutch elm disease (DED) is caused by a member of the sac fungi category affecting elm trees, and is spread by the elm bark beetle. Although believed to be originally native to Asia, the disease has been accidentally introduced into America and Europe, where it has devastated native populations of elms which had not had the opportunity to evolve resistance to the disease. The name "Dutch elm disease" refers to its identification in 1921 and later in the Netherlands by Dutch phytopathologists Bea Schwarz and Christine Buisman who both worked with professor Johanna Westerdijk
