[Governor Dinwiddie]

I have experience with the Emerald Ash Borer. Another Chinese gift that keeps on giving. All the Ash trees on my property have died. Nice tree, strong wood. That's what they make baseball bats out of. Had my large elm tree die about 15 years ago from Dutch Elm Disease. All of these diseases were introduced from foreign countries.

100% fact.

Another is the European beech bark disease. That one came over to Nova Scotia in the 1800s.

BTW, the Juniper trees/bushes are dying along I 40 at Ash Fork Az. They, the gubermint, are claiming its the lack of rain. I told them they are full of crap. Its a type of blight.

That SOB area ever gets lit up by someone throwing out a smoke from their car and all hell will break loose.

I’ve been on a mission to cut the ash trees down on my property. Those and poplars. Both grow fast and die fast. Otherwise I have a lot of OLD oak trees on the property (6 acres in MA).
