Ban On Pruning Elm Trees In Effect 

 The annual ban on pruning elm trees in Saskatchewan to help curb the spread of Dutch elm disease (DED) is in effect now until August 31. During this period, it is illegal to prune elm trees.

The ban occurs at the time of year when the elm bark beetles that spread DED are most active. Fresh cuts from trimming trees can attract the tiny insects, increasing the chance of an infection. 

 Tips for Protecting Elms in Your Community: 

• Prune elms before or after the ban period to keep them healthy and better able to resist all types of disease, including DED. 
• Remove unhealthy and dead elm wood cuts, reducing places for beetles to breed and the risk of infection.  
• Remove and dispose of DED-infected elms promptly, including during the ban period.
