Keeping a close on eye them all is a huge task.
Voluntary Elm inspection projects are detrimental to keeping the Elm population of Brighton stable. Not only for disease, but also re-planting.
Warm winters & very early warm springs probably won't help with the situation either, imo.
The Preston Park twins are still goin' strong!
Glad to hear it
Did you mean to write 'detrimental'
What species of re-plants? More elms? I planted a Sapporo Autumn Gold a few years back which was starting to look good last time I saw it, but I don't think it'll ever be a good match for any of the natives
will that make the birdies nice and clean? or just kill them?!poor birdies
Not for the birds to bath in, just for the roundup to be absorbed (although it would work better drilling holes in the sapwood as the heartwood won't absorb much anyway, it'll all be tyloses-ised....or something)
although if the roundup is sitting there for birds to bath in they would prolly cork it which would be illegal and WRONG!

No lol
Fundamental 
Yeah, Elm re-planting to replace the diseased.

What species or cultivar though?
*professional interest in what would be disease-resistant*
I don't know tbh.
But i'll ask one of the arbs who's in tomorrow who took part in the project, & get back to you
Yes please, I'd be interested to know
There have been so many cvs bred recently claiming to be resistant to DED I've lost track!:schwoooooon: http://www.british-trees.com/bibliography/silv.htm
Essential reading for ANYONE interested in trees.
*yeah Callie...yer right...I'd plaggy bag & lazzy band it over night...but according to the manufacturererers it's noxious props are done and dusted within 24 hrs...some say 20 mins.

Right. The cultivars that they're re-planting with are not 100% resistant, but none have been reported as having DED yet! Excuse spelling;
Princeton (alnus)
Doden
Lowbell
Erunvelt
Lutèce - a new cultivar being planted, which is claimed to be resistant.
Hope that helps mate.
