Survival and Development of Lymantria Monacha (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) on North American and Introduced Eurasian Tree Species FOREST ENTOMOLOGY Survival and Development of Lymantria monacha (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) on North American and Introduced Eurasian Tree Species M. A. KEENA1 Northeastern Research Station, Northeastern Center for Forest Health Research, USDA Forest Service, Hamden, CT 06514 J. Econ. Entomol. 96(1): 43Ð52 (2003) ABSTRACT Lymantria monacha (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), the nun moth, is a Eurasian pest of conifers that has potential for accidental introduction into North America. To project the potential host range of this insect if introducedintoNorth America, survival anddevelopmentof L. monacha on 26 North American andeight introducedEurasiantree species were examined.Seven conifer species (Abies concolor, Picea abies, P. glauca, P. pungens, Pinus sylvestris with male cones, P. menziesii variety glauca, and Tsuga canadensis) andsix broadleafspecies ( Betula populifolia, Malus x domestica, Prunus serotina, Quercus lobata, Q. rubra, and Q. velutina) were suitable for L. monacha survival and development.Eleven of the host species testedwere ratedas intermediatein suitability, four conifer species (Larix occidentalis, P. nigra, P. ponderosa, P. strobus, and Pseudotsuga menziesii variety men- ziesii) andsix broadleafspecies ( Carpinus caroliniana, Carya ovata, Fagus grandifolia, Populus gran- didentata, Q. alba, and Tilia cordata) andthe remaining 10 species testedwere ratedas poor ( Acer rubrum, A. platanoidies, A. saccharum, F. americana, Juniperus virginiana, Larix kaempferi, Liriodendron tulipfera, Morus alba, P. taeda, and P. deltoides). The phenological state of the trees hada major impact on establishment, survival, anddevelopmentof L. monacha on many of the tree species tested. Several of the deciduous tree species that are suitable for L. monacha also are suitable for L. dispar (L.) and L. mathura Moore. Establishment of L. monacha in North America wouldbe catastrophic because of the large number of economically important tree species on which it can survive anddevelop,and the ability of matedfemales to ßy andcolonize new areas.

  • Birch Defoliator Yukon Forest Health — Forest Insect and Disease 4
    Birch Defoliator Yukon Forest Health — Forest insect and disease 4 Energy, Mines and Resources Forest Management Branch Introduction The birch leafminer (Fenusa pusilla), amber-marked birch leafminer (Profenusa thomsoni), birch leaf skeletonizer (Bucculatrix canadensisella) and the birch-aspen leafroller (Epinotia solandriana) are defoliators of white birch (Betula papyrifera) in North America. Of the four, only the Bucculatrix is native to North America, but it is not currently found in Yukon. The other three species, as invasives, pose a far greater threat to native trees because their natural enemies in the form of predators, parasites and diseases are absent here. The birch leafminer was accidently introduced from Europe in 1923 and is now widely distributed in Canada, Alaska and the northern United States, though it has not yet been found in Yukon. The amber-marked birch leafminer was first described in Quebec in 1959 but is now found throughout Canada, the northern contiguous U.S., and Alaska. The amber-marked birch leafminer has proven to be, by far, the more damaging of the two species. Both species are of the blotch mining type as opposed to the skeletonizing Bucculatrix and the leafrolling Epinotia. Amber-marked leafminer damage is typically found along road systems. Infestations along roadsides are often greater in areas of high traffic, or where parked cars are common, suggesting that this pest will hitchhike on vehicles. It was first identified in Anchorage, Alaska in 1996 and has since spread widely to other communities. In areas of Alaska, efforts to control the spread of the amber-marked birch leafminer have been underway since 2003 with the release of parasitic wasps (Lathrolestes spp.).

  • The Tree How to Identify a Linden (Tilia Spp.) the Pesticides the Pest
    The Tree Tilia cordata, the Littleleaf Linden tree is native to Europe. It has been at the center of several bumble bee kills in Oregon. T. cordata often produces more flowers than other linden trees. It also produces mannose in its nectar that may be slightly toxic. Many native bees and wasps do not have the enzyme to break down mannose. European honey bees, Apis mellifera, do not appear to be as affected by mannose; at least one theory is that because they are from Europe, they share a developmental history with T. cordata. In general, linden trees have few pest problems; aphids are listed as one of the only insect pests of Tilia trees. Tilia leaf comparison How to Identify a Linden (Tilia spp.) DURING THE WINTER/DORMANT SEASON: 1. Bark is gray-brown and on mature trees is ridged or plated. 2. Twigs are light brown to gray, or may be red-tinged. 3. Buds are prominent, single, plump and often bulge on one side, and are red-brown to dark red in color. 4. Floral bracts and fruit may remain on the tree through winter. DURING THE GROWING SEASON: 1. Leaves are singular, alternate, heart-shaped, finely toothed, and the undersides of leaves often are fuzzy. Leaves at the stem end are asymmetrically attached to the stem. 2. Flowers are attached by floral bract that is 2-to-4 inches long. White to yellow flowers with five petals in hanging clusters of five-to-seven bloom in mid-June or early July. Flowers are fragrant and highly attractive to pollinators.

  • Littleleaf Linden—Loved by Bees
    Littleleaf Linden—Loved by Bees By Susan Camp In last week’s “Gardening Corner,” I wrote about a weeping Higan cherry (Prunus subhirtella ‘Pendula”) that is struggling, most likely because it is too closely located to several other trees that block its access to sunlight. Two of the guilty trees are littleleaf lindens (Tilia cordata), members of the Malvaceae or mallow family and native to Europe and southwestern Asia. Littleleaf lindens also are called small-leaved lindens. In Britain, they are known as lime trees, although they aren’t related to the citrus tree and fruit that bear the same name. Several other species of linden exist. Three littleleaf lindens were planted on our property by the previous owners more than 30 years ago. They have a good chance to live several hundred years if they escape severe disease, insect infestation, or environmental changes. In fact, longevity may be one of the reasons lindens were planted along streets and avenues in European, and later, American cities. Lindens also make reliable city trees because they tolerate poor or compacted soil and air pollution. In addition, the trees withstand occasional drought conditions, although leaf margins may scorch in prolonged heat. Newly planted trees should be watered regularly during the first years. Littleleaf lindens grow in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 to 7 and don’t perform as well in warmer zones. The trees prefer full sun to part shade in average sandy soil or loam with a pH of 4.5 to 8.2, which means they will tolerate acidic to mildly alkaline soil.

  • Tilia Cordata 'Greenspire'
    Fact Sheet ST-639 October 1994 Tilia cordata ‘Greenspire’ ‘Greenspire’ Littleleaf Linden1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION ‘Greenspire’ Littleleaf Linden grows 50 to 75 feet tall and can spread 40 to 50 feet, but is normally seen 40 to 50 feet tall with a 35 to 40-foot-spread in most landscapes (Fig. 1). This tree has a faster growth rate than the species and a dense pyramidal to oval crown which casts deep shade. The leaves are smaller than the species adding a delicate touch to the tree. From a distance the tree almost resembles a narrow version of the Bradford Callery Pear. This cultivar of Littleleaf Linden is more popular than the species or any of the other cultivars. It is a prolific bloomer, the small fragrant flowers appearing in late June and into July. Many bees are attracted to the flowers, and the dried flowers persist on the tree for some time. Japanese beetles often skeletonize Linden foliage, in certain areas in the northern part of its range. Defoliation can be nearly total and mature trees can be killed by severe infestations. Planting Linden in areas with severe infestations of this pest may not be wise. However, at least one reference reports that defoliation by Japanese beetles is common but control is seldom needed.

  • The HERITAGE River Birch (Betula Nigra 'Cully') a Notable Landscape
    1 Collyer Lane, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920 email: [email protected] Website: http://www.bernards.org/boards_commissions/shade_tree/default.aspx The HERITAGE River Birch (Betula nigra 'Cully') A notable landscape tree is the HERITAGE river birch (Betula nigra 'Cully'). This tree has gained a great deal of popularity and has been planted extensively in residential settings over the last ten years. It can be identified by the peeling tan bark of various shades. Most examples are multi-trunked in clumps of three to five. It is a native tree that grows both in the southern and northern areas of the United States. The cultivar HERITAGE was found by Earl Cully, a nurseryman from Illinois, who is well recognized for development of various worthwhile landscape trees. He found a birch tree that had exceptional peeling bark flourishing on a residential lawn in a St. Louis suburb more than two decades ago. River birch grow in moist, but not constantly wet areas, along streams and rivers. Other native birches in this area are the yellow birch which has curly black to gray peeling bark and the gray birch, Betula populifolia, which has chalky white non- peeling bark. In colder areas of the Northeast one may note white birch that in time develops peeling bark; these are non-native. The European white weeping birch, Betula pendula, is also useful in the landscape; it attains a good height and is strongly weeping. This is common plant to see European landscapes. Birch trees are also native to Asia and some have outstanding white bark and make wonderful specimen trees in colder areas of the Northeast.
