NOTE: Invasive Insect Species
There are some newer serious threats to many varieties of shade trees in our area from a couple of ravishing invasive insects. We should all be diligently checking the trees in the areas where we live for signs of these pests. Go to the following links for more information. Call your county agent if you find suspect trees or insects that appear to resemble those pictured here.
We all know the devastation that has happened to Ash trees from the EAB. The Asian Longhorn Beetle(ALB) could be even more severe as these top 5 species of trees are affected: Maples, Birch, Horse Chestnut, Willow and Popular.
