Good lesson! Looking at some of the hemlocks in central VT, they don’t seem to have any adelgid on them. Is it because of the colder winters?

does wooly adelgid survive through colder winter climates? I've been looking and can't find an answer. A property owner thinks it's spread to northern locations is due to warmer winter temperatures, but I don't know.

being a new house owner, the side of my driveway has these trees, maybe 20 ft high up. The son of the previous own explained to me having them sprayed for the adelgid, i was like what? Anyhow, such a shame that so many have been lost.

I used to live in Malden.

Thanks for sharing. Does one leaf mean it’s in the first year and the next year it will become two leaves?

Where I hunt in pa state game lands used to have a large hemlock grove along the northern ridge of the mountain. It was a beautiful location and very popular with the deer. Unfortunately they were attacked and virtually wiped out probably 20 years ago. Walking through there now you would have no idea, none of the old growth is even standing anymore. There are a few small trees under 6ft still standing. They look pretty rough, but makes me happy to see they are still fighting when I walk by each year.

There not all gone. We still have tons in NE PA

Thanks

Thank you for this excellent and informative video. Like you, I am surprised that there are still some hemlocks around that are not being treated with chemicals in order to survive. Thank you for explaining some of the mechanisms that are responsible for that. It would be wonderful if naturally genetically resistant trees would propagate.

Any rock climbing or bouldering over there?

So in your research, have you seen trees survive, although depleted, that have scale-only infestations?

Anything in Rosellinia Needle Blight? From my online research, it appears RNB is what’s turning the needles from green to yellow and dark brown. Help… please!

excellent -- relevant information clearly presented -- thanks -- but in truth, I don't know whether to spray my hemlocks or not

Very informative! He is very knowledgeable!

so if we only find adelgid on trees and not native mites is it safe to use imidacloprid?

Thank you for this explanation of the pests, their behaviours and countermeasures. It will help me understand what I am seeing while photographing for my old-growth forest project this year.

You need to do this at the cliffs at lodge park in Nahant MA

Fascinating! I run this trail often and appreciate learning more about the ground beneath my feet.

Loved the poem! Thank you for adding that. Also the info about the sex of the plant is very helpful.

Great video. Do the adelgids attack eastern white pines too? I think I saw some the other day on some juvenile plants.

Excellent video! This will help me as I walk the woods here in Haverhill.

I found a patch of these trees back in the woods beyond a peaceful cemetery next to an old fallen-down house. It was euphoric there. I felt like I was in a magical world at another time. I took a branch. I did not know what they were or that they are endangered (I know spruce are having a rough time). I did know I don’t see them every day. I am going to TRY to propagate them. They are so beautiful. I would love to have a patch of these enchanting trees in my yard. I must find out how to grow them and keep them protected.

that's my professor!!

Very cool, this is a new one for me. 👍🏼

Great stuff!

Boot Botwell is an amazing horticulture profesional! ****

Also extremely toxic!

Great work Boot! I can't believe I asked you about this today before I saw this video. Great minds think alike I guess! Kevin O'Rourke
