Peter,
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.
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.

This will just keep on going...I found a site of infestation right beside
Toronto airport yesterday that I had initially seen almost a month ago...a
quick check on the CFIA or Toronto Forestry websites fails to show any
information on this new site...
Pray for your ash trees!

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

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

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.

Good morning Philip,
When you have a moment could you let me know the location of the
infestation that you found yesterday.
