Starting this week (Nov. 3, 2024), we’ll be tagging trees for treatment and resuming HWA treatment, which will include trees with known infestations. We’ll also proactively treat large healthy Hemlocks along Hardwood between the mail center and the 4-way stop sign.
In the spring of this year, we treated about 120 Hemlocks. This month, we hope to treat an additional 75-100. All treated trees are recorded with GPS coordinates and tagged with a unique number. Treatment is overseen by forester and HWA expert, Joshua Konvitz.
A highly effective liquid treatment (Imidacloprid) will be applied directly to the base of the trees and will last for 5-7 years. There will be NO spraying. Left untreated, HWA infested trees will die within 10 years. Sadly, we will not be able to save all our Hemlocks.
