It’s that time of year where pruning elm trees is in season.
As of April 1, pruning of elm trees is banned until August 31 to help limit the spread of Dutch Elm Disease.
“Dutch Elm Disease is always a concern,” said Melfort’s director of development, planning, and community relations Brent Lutz. “And it can come in and wipe out the elm trees in your community.”
The elm bark beetle, which causes Dutch Elm Disease is most active during that stretch from April to August and it is attracted to the smell of freshly cut wood.
In Melfort, about 76 per-cent of the tree canopy in the city consists of elm trees.
