2. Rough elm - Orme des montagnes (Ulmus glabra)

Description

NL : Native elms, in Flanders also called olms, are threatened by elm disease caused by a fungus, the Ophiostoma ulmi. This is transmitted by beetles, which eat twigs and leaves. Through the sap flow, the fungus spreads throughout the tree. The elm tries to contain the infection by shutting off the water transport system, causing first the twigs and later the entire tree to wither. Affected areas should be burned as soon as possible to prevent the spread of the disease. The flowers of the elm are in dense heads together. The fruits are nuts with a discus-like wing. In our country there is also the smooth elm (Ulmus minor) and the crossing of the smooth and the rough elm: the Dutch elm (U.x hollandica).

FR : Les ormes sont menacés par une maladie qui leur est spécifi¬que et qui est provoquée par un champignon, Ophiostoma ulmi. Ce champignon est transporté par des coléoptères qui mangent les feuilles et les rameaux. Véhiculé par les vaisseaux conducteurs de sève, le champignon envahit l'entièreté de l'arbre. L'orme essaie de limiter l'infection en colmatant ses vaisseaux, ce qui entraîne d'abord le dessèchement des rameaux, puis de l'arbre tout entier. Les parties infectées doivent être brûlées le plus rapidement possible afi¬n d'endiguer l'extension de la maladie. Les ormes ont des fleurs disposées en têtes compactes. Les fruits ont la forme d'un disque ailé. Dans notre pays, on trouve également l'orme champêtre (Ulmus minor) et le croisement de celui-ci avec l'orme des montagnes, l'orme de Hollande (U. x hollandica).
