Hi! I am so happy I found your discussion group while researching Hemlocks and other trees native to NYC and environs. I'm a volunteer assistant to the curator of the NYBG Forest and I'm working on a winter tree id booklet for the arborists and Forest volunteers and I would love to get some input/advice. Especially about some of the more difficult to identify trees.
I hope I can figure out how to post pictures. I wanted to ask if anyone thinks some quarter size holes in an older sugar maple (probably >100ya) were made by the Asian long-horned beetle or maybe just woodpeckers, or something else I don't know about. It's a beautiful and healthy tree now. And it's in such prominent location that if the insects were after it, they would immediately treat it. Is this the right forum for me to discuss all this? I hope so. I've learned a lot looking through past post topics.
