I have an large Elm 30-40 feet tall with 15 foot diameter trunk that has not grown any leaves yet, I think it is dying . I wonder if I can do anything or ask some one to revive it. I really hate to lose this Elm . It It is about 15 feet from the house . thanks

Keep an eye on it. We have a lot of late starters this year for some reason.

Any time I see an issue in a tree my first step is sick tree treatment. This takes care of so many different possible issues it's always worthwhile.

Also you should look at what kind of care it's been receiving in the last year, or if anything in its environment has changed.

I recommend these guys: http://preservationtree.com/home.htm

They are not cheap, but most talent isn't cheap. They are very good!

------------
Additional info from another post of mine:
I had Preservation Tree Services over 4 years ago for a complete yard aeration and "nutrient dump" for my 60 yr old elm. They have an industrial air compressor that has a long air hose attached to it. It has a foot long plunger-vibrator on the hose-end. It's like a jackhammer setup without the jackhammer.

They walk along and plunge it in every couple of feet. Not only does it leave a hole a foot deep and about 3 inches across, but the air blasts through the soil underneath too.

When they are done, they fill each hole with an organic amendment mix.

It is definitely not cheap -- we are talking hundreds of dollars -- but it was GREAT for my yard and for the old elm.
