==== Parliament Hill Elm ====
The [[Parliament Hill]] Elm was planted in [[Ottawa]], Canada, in the late 1910s or early 1920s when [[Centre Block]] was rebuilt following the Great fire of 1916. The tree grew for approximately a century next to a statue of [[John A. Macdonald]] and was one of the few in the region to survive the spread of DED in the 1970s and 1980s.<ref name="Liberals votes against saving Parliament Hill Elm Tree">{{cite news|url=https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/liberals-vote-against-saving-parliament-hill-elm-tree|title=Liberals votes against saving Parliament Hill Elm Tree|newspaper=Nationalpost|publisher=National Post|access-date=April 30, 2019}}</ref> Despite protests from Ottawa area environmentalists and resistance from Opposition [[Members of Parliament]] the tree was removed in April 2019 to make way for new Centre Block renovations.<ref name="Century Old tree cut down on Parliament Hill">{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/century-old-tree-cut-down-parliament-hill-1.5097506|title=Century Old tree cut down on Parliament Hill|publisher=CBC News|access-date=April 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190503055806/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/century-old-tree-cut-down-parliament-hill-1.5097506|archive-date=May 3, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
