Latest UMass Landscape Message

The January 13 issue has been posted, covering the month of December.

Noteworthy are the reports of the devastation to trees caused by the Dec. 9 storm on Cape Cod (100mph winds) and the continued presence of winter moths, mostly in SE Mass.

Also disturbing is the section on Sudden Oak Death. So far it hasn't reached New England but it has been found on the east coast, and nursery stock is being monitored carefully.

Thanks Claire!

I wonder why there is no mention of the new MA prohibited plant list on the message? I'd think this would be a good way to get the information out to people in the green industry. Is it a case of 2 agencies not talking to each other, or was the list published in an earlier message?

DtD:

I haven't notice the prohibited plant list on any earlier message, but it's referred to under News and Events on the home site (www.umassgreeninfo.org). The site notes how the list was developed.
