About the Event
Invasive Shot Hole Borers (ISHB) have already killed tens of thousands of trees in the southern part of the state with significant environmental and financial costs. They have been detected in street trees in our county, preferring large species like sycamores that provide valuable shade in hot weather. Invasive Shot Hole Borers (ISHBs), and the holes they make, are tiny! How do you know if they have infected your trees? Master Gardener Pamela Trounstine will show you what kind of beetle evidence arborists are looking for, when and how trees can be treated to resist these invasive beetles and what other steps you can take to protect our urban forest.
