Is there any interest in gathering seeds or genetic material from an old Elm tree that has survived Dutch Elm disease?
I know of a very old elm tree in northeast Philadelphia that has survived while all others in the area died from Dutch Elm disease. Is there any interest in gathering seeds or genetic material from this tree?
