On tonight's show we'll discuss 2 insects that are wreaking havoc on the hemlock tree throughout the Catskill Mountains. One is Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA) Adelges tsugae. HWA used to be scarce in many parts of Delaware County, until this year. It seems HWA has marched west and north--en masse--from nearby Ulster & Sullivan Counties. The other insect--though less known--is Elongate Hemlock Scale (EHS) Fiorinia externa. This little guy--though similar to HWA--seems to be far more difficult to treat than HWA. These 2 sure are a bummer, but we'll discuss what your options are.
