Beech Leaf Disease
Beech Leaf Disease is has been found in every county in Pennsylvania. This disease was first identified in Ohio in 2012 and is caused by a microscopic nematode that damages leaves while they are in buds over winter. Once leaves emerge in the spring, they remain damaged and will result in reduced vigor and over several seasons can result in the death of the tree. Often leaves will fall off giving the forest a very open appearance. Since this disease is fairly new, effective treatments are fairly limited. The most effective treatments can be used on individual landscape trees, but are cost prohibitive on larger scales.

Time for TMP!!
In an attempt to make it to the next TMP Level, I am going through the checklist. One of the requirements is to make a post explaining how I intend to get the necessary classroom training hours. I do believe I have all the necessary hours, but to complete the checklist, I will post my intentions. I have gotten most of my hours from books. Whether I was studding for my ISA or Applicators Listens, I have read a lot of material. Videos and the internet are very useful resources. I will continue to use these resources for continued learning.
