Here are some interesting facts about the elm leaf beetle that we think all our clients should know:


Elm Leaf Beetle was first detected in Australia in 1989 and in Adelaide during the 2010-2011 life cycle season.


Elm Leaf Beetle will again emerge from overwintering this spring time, feeding on the leaves of elm trees damaging them until mid to late autumn. This damage weakens elm trees enabling secondary pest and disease attack while severely diminishing the amenity value of Adelaide’s beautiful trees.


Elm Leaf Beetle have no natural predators in Australia.


Biennial vascular system injections that are correctly administered by a Consulting Arborist are an essential tree defence component. While receiving your injections an integrated pest management strategy (IPM) will be advised to increase tree health and defence.


Elm trees are ring porous. This means they produce large vessels (their transport system) in their early wood from spring to mid-summer. These new vessels are the part of the tree a Consulting Arborist must inject into for the injections to be effective.
