Over the past couple of years, I have noticed an infestation amongst several white pines as evidenced by bore holes, white sap and actually hearing the pests at work. I have already lost a couple of trees and hope that you can help identify the issue and a DIY solution that I may implement. I have attached a photo for reference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, We planted 3 new birch trees early this month; 2 Whitespire single stem and 1 River Birch clump. The clump was the first to struggle with some dead dying branches and leaves but with consistent watering we see new growth and are hopeful it will recover. More concerning are the leaf spots on one of the Whitespire. I’ve included a couple of pics. I contacted the nursery for guidance with no reply, yet. We spent over $700 on these trees and are very distressed at the possibility of losing any of them. Any guidance appreciated. My Google search suggested anthracnose; would you agree and can I treat this? Thanks in advance. Cathy

This may be a strange question but I’ve noticed that the miller moths that we have in the house during this migration aren’t very active.  They seem to congregate on the walls and not “buzz” around lights like moths do at other times  Is there a reason for this?

We live in the foot hills of the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming and are currently (end of June 2022) experiencing migrating moths is big numbers. Yicks the house has so many of them 

RThanks for your answer if you have one.  Maybe these millers are just tired since they are so close to their mountain destination LOL

Please help with identifying a boring pest who damages the top leader of pine trees.

We live in Belle Fourche and experienced the severe hail storm a few weeks ago. We had planted 30 lilacs in spring of 2021 and they were dong great. Post the storm the lilacs still have green and look to be ok but with some black leaves. Are the black leaves a result of the hail? If so, what should we do? Thank you

For the second year in a row I have had this Larvae decimating my stonecrop. Stripping the stems completely bare and I'd love to know what it is. After asking in FB groups and much Googling the only thing we can find that looks like it are 2 types of European Sawfly Larvae Athalia Cornubiae and Athalia Rosae. I found them around our neighborhood on other's sedum too. They seem to prefer this specific sedum. I have 3 different variety and they will eat the other but barely. Can you help?

Our HOA is dealing with tree issues. We have a flowering pear failing and a clump birch where one of the trunks are failing. Is there any service that will come and give us an assessment or any suggestions we can fo for these trees?
