TT: Tree Quarantine in New York



 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
APHIS, the health inspection service of the USDA, is preparing to quarantine the movement of trees and tree parts in the New York City area, in an effort to control the spread of the Asian longhorn beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis Motschulsky.

More information can be obtained from the Tree News section of the TreeWeb, at:

I will add more information as it comes in. The quarantine becomes effective December 15.  Does anyone in the NYC area know any more details?
