Default Effective method to prevent emerald ash borer

Again you missed the point. Its about the fact that red oak acorns form on
last years wood and chestnut oaks form and mature on the current wood. Yous
a hard learner.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

Today I learned that Chestnut oak acorns are born and mature on the
current wood.

Red oaks - their acorns are born one year and do not mature until the
following year. So they mature on last years wood.

Now I do not have a degree, but you can see this for yourself.


I am so happy you discovered acorns grow on oaks. about time you learned
something about trees.

Beware a so called "tree biologist" who has never studied biology.
