Hello. The attached pictures show that the elm has a bacterial infection (Wetwood). This condition is caused by a number of bacteria that can enter the tree through wounds (most commonly at the root).
Gas is produced in infected trees as a result of the fermentation process. These gases cause an increase in pressure which forces the liquid out through various cracks in the bark. The liquid is made up of bacteria, yeasts, and water. This liquid can be dark and muddy in appearance. Unfortunately, there is no information about a treatment for this disease. In this case, it is recommended to maintain the general health of the tree by ensuring adequate humidity, maintenance pruning (tools should be disinfected afterward), and balanced fertilization.AuthorPostsViewing 1 reply threadWas this discussion helpful?
