Community Watch |
|
Building on the colonial America concept of town watch, Community Watch is simply an organized group of neighbors committed to vandalism and crime detection and prevention - NOT intervention.
Communication is a key element of this program, and technology can be a useful communication tool. If interested, check out and join the Blackberry Mountain Next Door Community. |

Hemlock Woolly Adelgid
Treatment
Program
 Blackberry's
Hemlocks are under attack by the invasive Woolly
Adelgid. All of the hemlocks were treated in
the early summer of 2012. However, you may
continue to see the insects' white, cottony egg
sacs for some time.
The larger trees will be re-reated in 2013 as
well.
The treatment program has been funded through
association dues and will be paid over a 3 year
period.
The hemlocks have been treated with
soil-injected imidacloprid.
Imidacloprid
can take from 6 weeks to 12 months or longer to
become effective depending on the size of the
tree, and it might take several years to achieve
complete control and show new growth,
particularly in large diameter trees.
Improvement on infested hemlocks means a
lessening of the infestation, very little
reinfestation (new bright white egg sacs) the
following spring, improved foliage color and
density, and new growth on the branch tips.
Small trees take up the solution and disperse it
throughout the entire tree in a matter of
months, and normally show improvement between 6
and 12 months. This process takes longer for
larger trees, sometimes as long as 12 -18
months. Since the lower limbs are the last part
to receive the benefit of treatment, they are
usually the last ones to show improvement. |
