So close yet so far... would've been a sweet upslope event if a few degrees Celsius colder. High of 40F with low of 35F and over an inch of orographic rain yesterday. 5F colder and might have been a paste job. Looking at models no one would've forecast an inch of rain yesterday up there.

wxmanmitch Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 As gross as they are, I'd almost rather have gypsy moth or tent caterpillars than Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) as the former species usually doesn't kill trees unless there are repeat infestations. Plus, caterpillars are vulnerable to fungi and predation, whereas EAB reproduces pretty much unchecked. Without a natural control agent, EAB is decimating our ash population and the visible damage gets worse each successive year after it was first detected here in 2012. Extensive damage is evident on the ash trees from EAB in this aerial photo I took with my drone yesterday by Onota Lake in Pittsfield. Notice all of the bare or mostly bare trees as ash species (mostly white ash) comprise a significant portion of our woodlands. Even the late blooming ash trees should be leafed out by now, and those that are still at least somewhat alive have done so. If EAB hasn't arrived at your location yet, it probably will soon as it is spreading rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If EAB hasn't arrived at your location yet, it probably will soon as it is spreading rapidly. The sad irony is that, in my NNJ experience (1970s) at least, white ash was about only thing the gypsy moths didn't eat - they'd start with the white oak group, move to other oaks as the outbreak spread, then to other hardwoods. (The only native conifer in our particular area was Eastern redcedar, which is almost bug-proof.) There are some native predators on EAB, mainly non-stinging wasps, but they haven't slowed the exotic bug's progress. However, EAB was confirmed in the CON area 4 years ago (may be a year off), and though the infestation was on a county bordering Maine, the insect has not yet been detected east of the line. Seems inevitable that it will continue to spread, and we know that NNE cold will provide no protection - one of our forest certification auditors lives in Sault St. Marie, ON and he said 3 years ago that the ash is all dead there.

If EAB hasn't arrived at your location yet, it probably will soon as it is spreading rapidly. I have been treating my 2 massive green ash trees on my property for the last 4 years as soon as EAB was reported nearby. A 20 dollar bottle of Dominion 2L with 21% imdoclorpid and a soil drench/basal trunk spray has kept them healthy so far. Cost $10 a year to treat them.

HoarfrostHubb Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Re: the gypsy moth caterpillars, I have seen some dead caterpillars on leave with that funky inverted "v" droop going on. I'm told that is from the fungus. No leaf damage so far, a few of the buggers around, but def. many more tent caterpillars than gypsy moth.

No way lol....you obviously have not travelled well. There's lots of cities/suburbs that interface with the plains like that. It's not like the country is one large suburbia. Take a look at Google Earth at a place like Denver - I found lots of examples of houses sitting on the edge of the high plains like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have traveled a lot and yes you can go suburban to desert I find it odd that there is no transition in this case. That guys house could be at the edge of development but I'm skeptical.
