KTAR News
The very disease that has decimated millions of American elms in the U.S. is now being used to bring the iconic trees back. In Vermont, Leila Wilson, a research ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service, is one of the scientists leading an effort to beat Dutch elm disease, which has killed tens of millions of elm trees over the last century.

Native to Arizona’s low-desert regions, the Smoke Tree (Psorothamnus spinosus), is a distinctive perennial shrub or small tree found primarily in sandy and gravelly washes at elevations below approximately 1,500 feet. It can reach 25 feet or more, with a short, crooked trunk and intricately branched, thorny twigs. Its sparse, often short-lived leaves and gray to silvery stems allow the plant to maintain a smoky appearance while its stems and branches photosynthesize. From April through June, it is transformed by dark purple flowers. Smoke Tree is well adapted to hot, arid conditions and provides valuable forage and nectar for native bees, butterflies, birds, and small mammals. |
