Nice you could get a 'Full Tree' image of it beng.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice, thanks.

I bet it has produced its share of seed - if that's a measure of chastity or not.

Has hemlock woolly adelgid reached that part of MD yet?

Arbordave, that I'm not sure of. Certainly it has been thru my area 15 yrs ago and I'm only a county away from there. The adelgid seems to be stumbling a bit as it goes west -- continues to show up in my area only intermittently now and deaths of remaining hemlocks not occurring much now (but continue to be stressed). Brother just north of me has a wide 25 footer that has the adelgid off and on, but it weathers them without much visual effect.

Many types of foreign pests show up and have a field day at first, but eventually something (a disease, fungus, predator, etc) catches up with them and they begin to slow down considerably -- Gypsy moth is an example here.

Edit: Got me curious, recent map shows that it has gone thru west MD and further west quite a bit.
