The home where I grew up was surrounded by elms. We lost every single
one of them to the blight.

There do appear to be a strain of trees that are resistent - they were
first found in Princeton.

Here in Davis there are still stately elms along the quad at the
university, lining the outside of the library along with cork oaks
and, I think, valley oaks and Sacramento still has a supply of elms
throughout the city. (Sacramento comes as close to the idea of an
urban forest as any place I've heard about - I find it delightful).
