Learn to Care for Spruce Aphid Affected Trees - April 19th
Warm winters over the past couple years have been very good for the spruce aphid, but hard on Homer’s spruce, a defining and important part of our landscape. Unusual aphid outbreaks in many of Homer’s spruce trees have caused needles to fall off, making trees look like they’re dying or worse, dead.
How do I know if my affected trees are alive? How do I help my trees survive? How did this winter affect the population of spruce aphids?
Area Forester, Hans Rinke from the Alaska Division of Natural Resources will be in town on April 19th to discuss the local spruce aphid outbreak and answer homeowners concerns about how to care for their trees.
Thanks to The Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies for hosting this event.
Bring your questions! Two sessions to choose from: 4:00 pm – 5:15 pm and 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm both on April 19th at the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies located at 708 Smokey Bay Way.
