South of me they have found the walnut twig beatle which in the end is the thousand canker disease. I don't know much about it but I often wonder what we will have in years to come.

I checked out the article. In the area where I am cutting firewood, I have found that green fungus on downed black walnut. I thought it was part of the rotting process. Looks like i may have a problem :'(

I had not heard of anything killing it near me except chain saws. I cut a semi truck load of it this past week. That is the coldest work I have ever done! Thank you Carthartt for the warm clothes.
