This is a great documentary! These bugs are a big problem in PA and are decimating Hemlocks in my favorite park:( Sinnemahoning State Park. Hope more people become aware of how important these trees are.
Thanks for the efforts to share this information. We have a very special hemlock forest in our area and I wanted to learn as much as possible to perhaps help save it from this fate.
They spread in ALL directions, not just north & west. they know how to go south as well, & I bet they can spread east as well. I'm 25-30 miles west of Atlanta, & the Hemlock in my yard has been affected pretty badly. I hope I'm not too late to save it..
Never heard of these invaders. Fortunately our local newspaper had an article on the demise of the Eastern hemlocks because of the wooly adelgid and fortunately I read it. Just treated my daughters 3 trees hoping to save them. I had noticed the white fuzz several years ago but didn’t realize what it was.
Ive noticed an interesting phenomena in our forest. The oaks are all dying w ?? Last year - they spewed fertile acorns that have baby oaks growing all over the plae in huge numbers. I have about 30 babies in my flower bed..its like that level of wild! The hemlocks - no. All the cones - no babies. Ive located 6 baby 2" hemlocks after being in forest txing for adelgid all day - and they were all in the same spot.
the us Forest service did nothing to save the old growth hemlock in Joyce killer . the or should I say was the largest vigin track of hemlocks vin the US

Thank you so much!

we have already lost all of the hemlocks on our mountain years ago. God bless your efforts
I'm so sorry to hear that.
They are serious in North Georgia by the Appalachian trail. I just treated my first one. It may be late in the year but its a start.

There is something you can do it’s called Basil Bark Spraying. It works and is fairly reasonable. LOOK IT UP 0:21
Thank you for the response!

Lol, they actually used explosives to blow up those trees so their felling looks natural
Well that explains it, I’m only 35 min from WG.
I had them wipe out all three of my hemlocks in one year.
