For all the newbies to the Ch. Elm species, here's a pic of something to really keep an eye out for. This is one type of scale that Ch. Elms especially are prone to get. Theyn will especially hide on the bottom side of your braches so if you should notice one on top of a branch look underneath also and most likely the more you look the more you will find. These guys are pretty easy to handle if you don't like using chemicals by just picking them off. These will do some pretty good harm to your tree so keep an eye out frequently for these. :)

We also see that scale on Chinese elm in Australia though I have never had it in large numbers.
