More pines coming down, lost to Southern Pine Beetle. My yard is a whole new world.
@gemswinc We have a pine virus.. costing me a grand per tree and losing 1 majestic friend every year :(
@TrueBloodNet That is a shame. Besides being very sad, this whole thing is very expensive. Mostly oaks left.
@gemswinc Man I feel ya. I lost my ash trees to emerald ash borer, the borers brought Dutch elm disease to my 100 year old elms, the two of those made my woods look like a disorganized Tunguska. Now the pines. I have oaks and maples, a few basswood... but the buckthorn moved in so I have to fight those all summer long.
I'm considering adding red cedars and a couple hickory trees.
GL to us all.
