2 Edmonton trees test positive for Dutch elm disease

The City of Edmonton has confirmed that two trees have tested positive for Dutch elm disease (DED).

Both trees are in the Downtown and Delwood neighbourhoods on City property, within one-kilometer DED Protocol Zones established around previously confirmed cases.

City officials were able to confirm that the trees have DED after they began to show signs. Both have also since been removed as part of efforts to contain the spread of DED.

The trees are the 15th and 16th cases of Dutch elm disease in Edmonton since it was detected in 2024.
