Any thoughts for shade- and salt-tolerant trees for a spot on State Street in Montpelier that gets very little sun?

Kate - Danielle, just joined and can't wait for the scenery to look like the picture above here in Winhall. The grove is full of snow for the next couple of weeks anyway, here in Winhall. Stay well, Best Dennis

The USDA Forest Service is working on a project to identify surviving American elms to test for tolerance to Dutch elm disease (DED). They are working to increase the genetic base of DED tolerant trees and the 1st step in this process is to identify possible survivor trees. They are looking for American elm trees at least 24" DBH in areas that have had DED and that have not been treated with fungicides. We are asking foresters and others involved in American elm work to watch for these elm trees, and if they see one, to please enter its GPS location and DBH on our website:
http://nrs.fs.fed.us/disturbance/invasive_species/ded/survivor_elms/
They will compile the elms in a database, prioritize them for sampling, collect a few small branches, graft them at our lab, and test them for DED-tolerance.
