Similar on the west coast in Oregon - bark beetles decimating douglas fir and pine.
- hedora 3y agoThey're also rampant around the SF bay area; they mostly leave the native trees alone, but I'm staring at a massive dead pine tree that was healthy a few years ago. The damage in the article looks different though. Our beetles seem to focus on a ring of bark near the ground, so they don't have to eat nearly as much to kill the tree.
