I have seen news reports on them the last 2 years. I personally have never seen one yet. Have any of you?

This has been well known in the landscape industry for a couple years. It’s inevitable that they will spread. They have been know to lay eggs on almost everything including tractor trailers and train cars (( I’ve seen photos of this), so there is no stopping the spread. Just another invasive species of the endless list sent over from China

These things are killing trees I guess is the main issue? I don't have a lot of knowledge on the subject.Bgoney wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2023 7:37 am This has been well known in the landscape industry for a couple years. It’s inevitable that they will spread.

Yea , they feed on the sap of trees and shrubs and unlike the Emerald Ash bore , they feed on an assortment of hardwood trees and shrubs and fruit industry trees and vines.tron777 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2023 9:17 amThese things are killing trees I guess is the main issue?

Just saw a report from the ODA in Cincinnati that nymphs were discovered. Didn’t give the exact location but it’s no surprise. They are here to stay
