2 We have high hopes for you today

3 PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. - February 2, 2013 (WPVI) -- Pennsylvania's famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil has emerged from his lair and did not see his shadow, meaning it is short time to spring

4 Salisbury Cindy Groundhog is in disagreement

5 Is it still winter yet?

6 What can make our plants sick Stress conditions whatever this means predisposes trees To borer problems

7 Carpinus betulus fastigata - good columnar cultivar to use 40 ft up to 20 ft wide Great trees that have been generally pest free

8 Agrilus carpini attacks Carpinus - European and American hornbean and Beech Yellow setae on top of elytra

9 Beetle emerges in last week of May through June Yellow setae (hairs) on side of abdomen

10 Metallic abdomen when viewed from the bottom

11 Spine present on tip of abdomen

12

13 Mines from Agrilus carpini- May of 2009

14 Larvae of Agrilus carpini just before pupation

15 Agrilus Larval Characteristics Characteristics Larvae: Flattened disc-like thoracic segment Legless Spiracles appear C-shaped Abdominal segments somewhat flattened All Agrilus have pincer-like urogomphi on last abdominal segment

16 D- Shaped exit hole

17 Newly transplanted trees at risk Plant put in narrow planting island Consider applying either permethrin (Astro) or bifenthrin (Onyx) to the trunk of stressed trees in early June to protect from beetle infestation

18 Sure seems like a lot of new problems coming into the landscape

19 Japanese Cedar longhorned Beetle Japanese Cedar Longhorned Beetle, Callidiellum rufipenne, has been found and identification confirmed in Maryland for the first time. It was found on Cryptomeria japonica Yoshino planted in the Severn area of Anne Arundel County. It was detected due to dieback of leaders and branches of the infested plant material. Fully developed adult beetles were found in tunnels in the infested plants.

21 Longhorned beetle in leyland cypress

22

23 Hosts: Within its natural range in Asia, the small Japanese cedar longhorned beetle infests a number of plants in the family Cupressaceae. These include Hinoki cypress, Sawara cypress, Japanese cedar, Cypress, and false arborvitae. Firs and pines have also been reported as hosts. Infestations in North America have been found in arborvitae and eastern red cedar.

24

25 Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Bupestridae) ½ inch

26 In North America, EAB is a Primary Pest of North American ash trees, attacking and killing healthy ash trees within 1-3 years. It is estimated that EAB has killed nearly 30 million ash trees in North America so far.

27

28 Frass Newly hatched larvae bore through bark and feed on the tree s vascular tissue. As they grow, larvae zigzag through tree tissue, leaving S-shaped tunnels that are flat and wide.

29 Heavy EAB infestations kill ash trees quickly within 1 to 3 years.

30 We can probably work this ash thing out with a little compromise

31 We want you to watch for this one Asian Long-horned Beetle (ALB): The beetle has the potential to damage such industries as lumber, furniture, maple syrup, nursery, and tourism. But thanks to observant homeowners in both Chicago and New York, the beetle s sneak attack on the United States has been thwarted First U.S. Report

32 Impact ALB attacks and kills live healthy hardwood trees Preferred hosts Maple, elm, birch, horsechestnut/buckeye, willow Other hosts London plane tree/sycamore, poplar, ash, hackberry, European mountain ash, mimosa, katsura Cuts off nutrient delivery and weakens structural integrity

48 Kudzu Bug Megacopta cribraria Has spread through most of Georgia and North Carolina, all of South Carolina, and several counties in Alabama. Is moving north, may reach as far as Pennsylvania and move to the mid-west Feeds on kudzu, soybeans and other legumes North Carolina Arboretum: reported on Snail Vine and Wisteria

49 Spotted Winged Drosophila, Drosophilia suzuki

50 From Southeast Asia Detected on West coast in 2008 Michigan in 2010 Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania in 2011

51 Females oviposit in developing fruit maggots hatch and feed on fruit 9 days to maturity

52 Blueberries, Grapes, Cherries, Blackberries and Raspberries

53 Monitoring Use bottle with apple cider vinegar and drop of soap so flies drown.

54 Control Malathion short HI time but kill predators and parasites.
