The Effects of a Nemotode

The sawyer beetle is named for the sound of it eating the wood.  I heard it last night walking past a scotch pine in the front yard. It sounds like tiny saws echoing through the pine.

Inside its guts lives a nematode who gets excreted then travel through the tree.  It lives in the roots and cuts off the water.supply killing the scotch or Scots pine.  It has now killed two libraries pines which were not supposed to be suseptable. 

The front yard has 7 more trees to remove.  Slowly and surely they go to the burn pile.

When asked how I work out, I do so by carrying tree after tree, twice. The first time is to the trailer.  The second time is to the burn pile.

Someday, when you drive into the yard, you will only see healthy beautiful trees.
