Description
Dutch elm disease (DED), fatal to elm trees, made its first known South Dakota appearance in 1967 in Minnehaha County. By the summer of 1972, infected trees were found in 26 counties, as far north as Deuel County, as far west as Tripp County, and as far south as Union County. Minnehaha County estimated 500 trees were infected and removed in 1971. Removal costs range from $30 to more than $200 per tree, depending upon circumstances.
