Why are elm trees bad?
The elm bark beetle dwells on the elm tree, thereby infecting it with the Dutch Elm Disease due to bacterial growth in the wood. Other elm varieties also harbor the beetles, but do not get infected by the disease. Furthermore, the American elm has a shallow root system, which invades sewage pipelines and foundations.
Why do people not like elm trees?
