noun
- A disease of elm trees caused by ascomycete fungi in the genus Ophiostoma and spread by bark beetles. The village is a dignified place of thatch, half-timbering, box hedges and neat farms, set among elms (though not as many as formerly, since Dutch elm disease took its toll) on the level plain of the Pewsey Vale.
