Laura, ENTS,
Thank you for posting the article. I'm just glad the tree was kept alive as long as it was. James, I think it will probably be the Ash trees that will be in trouble next due to the emerald ash borer insect - don't know the details but Don Bragg wrote about it in the latest ENTS Bulletin: http://www.nativetreesociety.org/bulletin/index_bulletin.htm Jenny -----Original Message----- From: James Parton <[email protected]> To: ENTSTrees <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Jan 3, 2010 12:19 am Subject: [ENTS] Re: When This Tree Falls - Globe article Laura, It is so sad. The American Chestnut is only a ghost of it's former self, then the American Elms and now the Hemlocks. What will be next?
