And elms. Lots of US cities had streets completely lined with elm trees that were never replaced. > [starting in 1928] The disease spread from New England westward and southward, almost completely destroying the famous elms in the "Elm City" of New Haven, Connecticut, reaching the Detroit area in 1950, the Chicago area by 1960, and Minneapolis by 1970. Of the estimated 77 million elms in North America in 1930, over 75% had been lost by 1989. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_elm_disease https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_elm_disease
