Jenny, It would be neat if you could get a shot from about the same position and direction as the old postcard photos. Are there any decent size hemlocks left, or have they all died out? Usually the largest and oldest, the ones pushing the limits of their capacities and therefore under the most stress are among the first to die out. Younger smaller trees may flush out more often before they die from the pest.
It is an amazing coincidence that your name appears as JennyNYC and your name is Jenny and you are from New York City.... ;) Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: "JennyNYC" <[email protected]> To: "ENTSTrees" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 9:48 PM Subject: [ENTS] Re: Hemlocks - HWA? the RIGHT link is: http://picasaweb.google.com/JennifDudley/Hemlocks?authkey=Gv1sRgCLn77cGwhb2zhAE&feat=directlink On Mar 18, 9:47 pm, JennyNYC <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi All, > > Investigated the hemlocks at NYBG.
