Having seen the .carnage in .other states, foresters in Kentucky are taking a new defensive tack , enlisting a species of predatory beetles native to the Pacific Northwest to devour the invaders. Can the tiny beetles , barely larger than poppy seeds. save Kentucky's hemlocks? "The short answer is: We don't know yei," said University of Kentucky entomologist Lynne RieskeKinney, one of a group of researchers trying to stave off the insects. "We certainly have our fingers crossed." For decades, foresters across the Mid-Atlantic region have waged war on woolly adelgids. which are thought to have· arrived in the United States on ornamental shrubs imported from Japan in the 1920s. Because the insects have no naniral predators in the Appalachians, they've run roughshod through hemlock forests, having reached Kentucky in 2006 . Rieske-l(inney said one variety of beetles shipped in from Japan to combat woolly adelgids were ineffective. Kentucky researchers then turned to beetles · from Washington state and were optimistic after releasing the first 2,000. "It looks promising," RieskeKinney said. "We saw them go right after the adelgids." Woolly' adelgids started showing up in urban landscaping in Virginia in the 1950s before they spread into the wild. Their population exploded in the 1980s, and by the 1990s they had devastated Virginia's Shenandoah National Park and spread to the Nonhe;~st. · · In ·the past decade, they've mo~ed south 'into areas of Tennessee and the Carolinas, wreaking havoc in the Great Smoky Mountains.

PTNEVJLLE , Ky. :__ An aphid-like insect no bigger than an ink pen dot has been turning picturesque hemlock forests from Marne to Georgia into grotesque collections of barren trunks and broken branches. De$pile foresterS' efforts to stop them, woolly adelgids have advanced south through the Appalachians like an invading army, plundering the majestic evergreens . Having seen the .carnage in .other states, foresters in Kentucky are taking a new defensive tack , enlisting a species of predatory beetles native to the Pacific Northwest to devour the invaders. Can the tiny beetles , barely larger than poppy seeds. save Kentucky's hemlocks? "The short answer is: We don't know yei," said University of Kentucky entomologist Lynne RieskeKinney, one of a group of researchers trying to stave off the insects. "We certainly have our fingers crossed." For decades, foresters across the Mid-Atlantic region have waged war on woolly adelgids. which are thought to have· arrived in the United States on ornamental shrubs imported from Japan in the 1920s. Because the insects have no naniral predators in the Appalachians, they've run roughshod through hemlock forests, having reached Kentucky in 2006 . Rieske-l(inney said one variety of beetles shipped in from Japan to combat woolly adelgids were ineffective. Kentucky researchers then turned to beetles · from Washington state and were optimistic after releasing the first 2,000. "It looks promising," RieskeKinney said. "We saw them go right after the adelgids." Woolly' adelgids started showing up in urban landscaping in Virginia in the 1950s before they spread into the wild. Their population exploded in the 1980s, and by the 1990s they had devastated Virginia's Shenandoah National Park and spread to the Nonhe;~st. · · In ·the past decade, they've mo~ed south 'into areas of Tennessee and the Carolinas, wreaking havoc in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Every quality valued in a landscape tree - whether it's textured bark, fall leaf color, bright llowers, even decorative . fruits - can also be found in some trees bearing edible fruits. FIRST, A REALITY CHECK When it comes to "luscious landscaping·• with fruit trees, special considerations are needed. Think twice before planting an especially bountiful tree near a terrace or driveway. Excess dropped fruit could create a mess. And producing fruit - e'speciall y high-quality fruit ~ demands an extra measure of energy from a tree, so also pay attention to choosing a site with sun and soil that suits it. Pests might present a problem when landscaping with fruit. which can he as attractive to pests as to us humans. Yet trying to spray one fruit tree nestled among other plants or growing near a terrace brings its own set of problems . You don 't want pesticides to 1 fall on nearby plants or in areas \liherc people - especially children - play or lounge outdoors. The best way to avoid the need for spraying is to do something ebe before you even plant: Choose an appropriate tree for your region , one that is handsome and pest resistant. and bears tasty fruits. Fortunately. in every region of the country there are plenty of handsome trees that yield edible fruits without the need for spraying or, in some cases. even pruning. And some fruit trees are adaptable just about everywhere. LARGE, LUSCIOUS FRUITED, ORNAMENTAL TREES . . Among larger trees, for example, consider American persimmon (Diospyros americana) and hackberry · (Celtis occidentalis). Persimmon has gracefully arch ing limbs, checkered bark and slightly bluish leaves . The rich, sweet fruits of American persimmon have the. taste and texture of wet, dried apricots that have been dipped in honey along with a dash of spice. They dangle like Christmas ornaments from the branches well into fall. Hackberr· is relllted to American elm and has a similarly pleasing, vaseshaped growth habit. The real beauty of this plant is more subtle, though, and that is it~ bark , which is gray and punctuated with corky ridges that cast crisp shadows reminiscent of a lunar landscape. The fruits. ripening in. late summe r and fall. are small. round and as sweet as dates. although the llesh is admittedly sparse., FRUITS FROM MEDIUM-SIZE l'REES· Two examples of medium-size ornamental trees bearing edible fruits are cornclian cherry (Comus mas) and pawpaw (Asimina triloba). Carnelian cherry is mostly planted as ·an ornamental only because people don't realize that the fruit is edible . The fruits look and taste very much · like tart chen-ies. Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is a lush tree whose large, dark green leaves would look perfectly at home in a tropical forest. \he fruit has a creamy_ texture and fla'ior much like banana, along with hints of pineapple, avocado and mango. Despite its tropical· airs, pawpaw happily survives fri~id winters where temperatures d•p well below zero. SMALL, PRETTY TREES BEARING TASTY FRUITS If you lack the space to plant a large or medium-size tree , there are a number of small trees that are pretty and bear tasty morsels . Juneben-y (Amelanchier spp:), for example. This tree is a cloud of white blossoms in spring. and fiery 'purple . orange and yellow leaves in fall. Even in winter, juneberries liven. the landscape subtly with their smooth, gray bark and neat form. The blueben-ysize fruit is sweet and juicy, with the richness of sweet chen-y and a hint of almond. · Medlar (Mespilus germanica), another small tree, has large white or AP photo A pawpaw tree is seen in this photo in Scarsdale, N.Y. Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is a 'lush tree whose large, dark green lea\flts would look pertectly at home in a tropical forest. The fruit has a creamy texture and flavor much like banana, along with hints of pineapple, avocado and mango. Despite its tropical airs, pawpaw happily survivf;ls frigid winters where temperatures dip well below zero. pinkish blossoms., each handsomely framed by a whorl of dark green !Caves. The fruits that follow are interesting, if not attractive, resembling small, russeted apples, tinged yellow and flared open at the end opposite the stem. After harvest, the fruits soften to the texture and flavor of old-fashioned applesauce, brisk and winy. The trees mentioned abpve represent only a slice of the pie of what's available for landscaping with fruit trees. There are many others: quince, Korean pine, mulben-y . and the rare shipova, to name a few. With only minimal effort on your part, mostly in selecting the right plant for beauty, adaptability and flavor, you can have your cake (the tree) and eat it (the fruit), tool . Sunday, Aprilt9, 2009 A good tool makes the kindest cuts If you're going to buy just one toc;>l for pruning, make it a pair of handh-eld pruning shears. 1 This is the tool you'll use for pruning roses and for most cuts on fruit plants, houseplants. and young ornamental trees and bushes. SHEARS' BUSINESS END . The business ends of pruning shears have either anvil or bypass blades. With anvil shears. a sharp blade comes down on the flat edge of an opposing blade. The flat edge is soft metal so as not to dull the opposing sharp edge. Bypass shears, in contrast. work more like scissors , with two sharp blades sliding past each other. Anvil shears generally are cheaper than bypass shears, and the price difference is reflected in the. resulting cut. Too often, anvil blades crush part of the stem at the end of the cut. And ifthe two blades do not mate perfectly, the resulting incomplete cut leaves the severed stem hanging by a thread·of bark. That wide, tla~ened blade also makes _it difficult to get the tool righ\ up against the base of the stem you want to remove. Because a pair of hand shears is such a useful tool - one you might drop i0 to your back pocket each time you walk out to the garden - check out weight; hand fit and balance before settling on one. Can the blades be removed for sharpening or replacement? A bypass pruner should have an adjustable tension screw so the blades can be made to dose easily. yet be tight enough not to bind on a stem. SIZE AND OTHER FEATURES Some shears are tailored to fit small hands or left hands. The blades of some bypass shears are hooked at the end to help prevent a stem from slipping free of the jaws as you cut. Other shears achieve the same effect with a rolling action of one ~ypass blade along the other as the handle is squeezed. A ratcheting action makes it easier to .slice through thick stems, but you do have to squeeze repeatedly for a single cut. Shears might ease hand strain by having grips that rotate as you make the cut. CARE Give any pair of pruning shears care and it will give you years of service. Dirt can nick or dull sharj) edges, so give the blades an occasional wipe with an oil-dabbed rag. Clean off sap with a rag .dipped in a solvent such as kerosene. Periodically apply a few drops of oil to the bolt that joins theblades, as well as to the spring that spreads the handles. Pruning shears cut most easily and quickly if their blades are sharp, and clean cuts heal quickest. On anvil shears, sharpen only one blade, and sharpen it on both sides. On bypass shears, sharpen both blades, each on its outside edge only. For all their us.efulness, pruning shears are not for pruning · . everything. Never at1empt to shimmy and wiggle the tool through branches; this could hurt the plant and the shears. Stems huskier than about a half-inch -across call for use of a lopper or pruning saw. And when it comes to nipping out shoot tips on outdoor chrysanthemums or indoor avocados, for example, no tool is more convenient or useful than your thumbnail. Only t6K Mlos, N<fN ~Trade!
