Pests and diseases

The resistance of 'Jackson' to Dutch Elm Disease has not (< 1995) been confirmed by artificial inoculation.[1] The species as a whole is highly susceptible to Dutch Elm Disease and Elm Yellows; it is also moderately preferred for feeding and reproduction by the adult Elm Leaf Beetle Xanthogaleruca luteola,[2] and highly preferred for feeding by the Japanese Beetle Popillia japonica [3][4] in the United States. U. americana is also the most susceptible of all the elms to verticillium wilt.[5][6]
