Subject: buckthorn is visible
Importance: High
NOW IS THE TIME TO FIND BUCKTHORN, the overwintering host for soybean
aphid.
This year, I've finally remembered to send an email. Most trees and
shrubs have changed color and leaves are dropping. Buckthorn is
still dark green and covered with leaves - very obvious even at 70
mph. So if you are interested in mapping buckthorn in your area, now
is the time.
For tips on ID, check out the bulletin that Steve Gower and I wrote in
2002
