Tree TalK By Gary Martin “Fun Guys iV” How’s it going this month! Wow, we’re into April! “Spring beauty” is one of our early blooming wildflow- ers. Since it’s much prettier than the subject of our talk, I chose it for our cover photo. How about if we continue talking about insects and diseases and pick another of the “fun guys” that can harm our trees. Our guy is “Elytroderma deformans”. (I need to come up with more good latin trivia.) The condition on our trees is called “Elytroderma needle blight”. Elytroderma is a “pathogen”; an organism that causes a disease. This guy is a fungus. It’s similar to “Hyy- podermella laricis”; our “larch nee- dle blight” that we’ve talked about. “Elytro” goes after Ponderosa pine and sometimes Lodgepole pine. It has evolved with its’ tree hosts and is quite the specialized fun guy. Just like “Hyypo”, Elytro has a big relationship with the micro climate of where the trees are growing. It really likes cool and moist conditions; es- pecially when its’ spores are flying around. Fun guy spores get released in mid summer, are carried by the wind and are looking to infect the fresh, current-year needles of the host tree. Cool temps and high humidity during late summer and fall can help this guy get established. It infects the needles and grows into woody tissues of the tree. Infected needles will turn red and die. Elytroderma is the only needle pathogen of pines that can become “systemic”. That’s pretty cool and I think it means that this very specialized pathogen can cause harm in much of the whole tree es curlling upward with lots of dead Elytro infection. When we come without, necessarily causing symp- needles. You can cut into an infected across badly infected trees, we can toms in all infected parts.

I, myself, would just like to let other parents know that there are programs out there to help their child/children with homework after school. Then, if they complete their homework, they can participate in the Rez Stop activities, such as: wall climbing with Josh Swain, basket weaving Joyce Kohler, sewing with Cathy DeSautel, crafts/games with Carmen and Janna, snacks with Juanita Warren and much more. I have been down at these events and either volunteered or just observed. I’m looking forward to being more involved. Carmen and Janna put a lot of work in planning a monthly schedule. The schools are always looking for volunteers, not just Inchelium, but all the schools in your district. Please take an hour or so out of your time to check out the after school programs in your area. These programs are set up to tutor your child/children or to simply let them use their imagination and talent. Here are some photos that were taken at Inchelium during Rez Stop. If you would like to have more information about the program, just call Carmen Peone at 509-722-6181, ext. 244.
