Elm tree update

Report to Moderator

Well I went around my little town today to look (be nosy) and look at other elm trees. I see I am not the lone ranger, nearly every elm in my town in N Central Okla has falling leaves, discolored leaves, and I looked at some trunks, they all had the 1/4 inch or so yellow and brown striped worms on them in the bark. THOUSANDS OF THEM. I mixed another sprayer up and sprayed mine to dickens tonight around the trunks as high as I could spray. What in heck could these bugs be? If they kill all the elms in this little town it will suck.

Sounds like the dutch elm blight we had here 35 or 40 years ago. The only elm you see around here is the one on the street sign in town..'ELM STREET'

Really sad, how we are losing our trees. First, the Chestnuts, then Elms, & Ash. Beetles are killing off the pines in the Southeast.. I guess that is part of the down side of global travel & shipping. Also, don't forget Fire Ants & the Killer Bees that came on ships. Odd thing is, we are reqired to use fumigated pallets to ship our products to Mexico...

All our bitter hickories died a couple years ago from something. Massive trees too. Where trying to salvage as fire wood but there are too many gone and rotting faster than we can keep up.

Our ash trees here in Michigan are dying off fast. The emerald ashh borer is killing them. Brought in from packing matierals from China.

About 2 years ago, my BIL asked me to help him cut down a couple of ash trees at his place. He had about 20 trees from 2in to 2ft in dia. All dead. All with little holes in the outer layer. Surprised me that none of the trees survived. They apparently have no natural defense against whatever is killing them.

The Emerald Green Ash Borer eats the camden layer just under the bark. They leave zig-zag worm trails all around the trunk of the tree as they eat about 3/32" of the camden layer. That stops the flow of nourishment up the tree and it dies. The bark becomes loose and eventually falls off. There are several foreign companies in the area where they figure it all started at Warren and Haggerty Roads in Canton, MI. Anyone of these companies could have recieved the contaminated shipment but no one knows for sure that they had the infected wood first.

I don't understand what all the fuss is about on the EAB, acording to everything I have found out about them is they ARE THE SAME AS THE BUGS WE HAVE HAD HERE IN OHIO FOR THE LAST 50 years that I know of and I am 62 so I think they have been around for longer than I have, so if they have been around that long why make a big fuss over them now?
