Development Rumours

[Antigonish]

Dutch Elm disease was the most catastrophic. I think it really started mass killing the trees in the 1980s. I was too young to remember the pre-blight days but I remember the trees still standing but slowly rotting away. Out here in Saskatoon the elms are still present but there has been a few cases of blight just in the past year or so. My street is a 1940s grid street with elms lining both sides. During the summer the entire street becomes a giant tree tunnel it's absolutely gorgeous!
