<br><font size=2><tt>We had a similar problem last fall with the warm fall
temperatures and the early snow. We had to defer about 200 trees
to be planted. We had all bareroot stock that was stored in mulch
over the winter. We had similar success when they were planted in
the spring. Many were dead already or died soon. </tt></font>
<br>
<br><font size=2><tt>However wirebasket is a little different. My
experience with wirebasket trees is that if you are a little late and the
snow flies, plant them anyway, even if there is a little frost. If
you can't put them where you want them, put them in the soil somewhere
for storage. Mulch just doesn't seem to cut it. Since wirebasket
trees come with at least some parent soil and intact roots, they seem to
do the best if you put them in the ground. We've planted trees here
in frozen ground with good success, considering the circumstances. </tt></font>

The recent finding of the Emerald Ash Borer took place on Ile Demers within<br>
the community of Carignan, a suburb of Montreal on the south shore near<br>
Chambly. Apparently it was found in a residential area as a result of the<br>
movement of firewood or plant material, most probably firewood.<br>
<br>
The movement of firewood is proving to be the most problematic of the<br>
methods of distribution of this pest. No doubt, many meetings are taking<br>
place between officials of CFIA, the Ministry and the many municipalities
in<br>
the Montreal area.<br>

<br>
Hello,<br>
Does anyone have any details yet on the extent of the recent find of Emerald<br>
ash borer in the Mont?r?gie area of Quebec reported by the Canadian Food<br>
Inspection Agency?<br>
<br>
The apparent jump from the vicinity of Toronto to this new area near<br>
Montreal has raised the issue with municipal foresters in the Maritimes.<br>
While it was previously a very distant problem, the recent find near<br>
Montreal moves it over halfway to northern New Brunswick in a single step.<br>
<br>
I understand that concerned New Brunswick municipal officials will be<br>
meeting with CFIA and others shortly to discuss ways to limit human-assisted<br>
movement (domestic movement) of this pest into new areas.<br>
<br>

Hello; I need some answers after the fact: Our small
community ordered 25 caliper size (50-75mm), root ball in wire basket.
sugar maple, red oak and basswood last fall for Oct planting. A
combination of problems capped by an early snow fall and freeze forced
the town to overwinter 16 trees. We , (forestree advisory committee) suggested
storing them upright and covering the root balls with mulch. Lots of snow
and thaw, and this spring 5 were planted in late April. The remaining 11
were not planted till late May. The basswood had flushed but the maple
and oak appeared dormant,but we guesstimated to be still alive. None of
them flushed or if a few leaves came out, they died. The fall plantings
all are thriving. The early spring plantings are weak and several I think
are gone. Question: What should we have done to overwinter these trees?
Any comments? Thanks Peter Murray RPF Rtd. <br>
