I was thinking of planting about 15 or so wych elm trees along a wall in a field. I heard that they are less prone to attack by Dutch elm disease than other elms but I was still wondering if it is a good idea to plant them. Is there another type of elm that’s not prone to Dutch elm disease? If it is safe to plant them how far apart should I space them? What type of soil suits the elm?
