About this episode
What's got spots all over and totally sucks (tree sap)? It's the spotted lanternfly, one of Kentucky's newest invasive pests. Join us as Dr. Jonathan Larson, UK Entomology, teaches about the spotted lanternfly and what it means for your trees.
Also on tap: Tree-of-heaven? That's definitely a misnomer! This invasive tree is a threat in both forests and urban areas. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, it's also the favorite host of the spotted lanternfly. Join Dr. Ellen Crocker, University of Kentucky Department of Forestry and Natural Resources - Extension, to learn more about how to identify and control tree-of-heaven.
The battle against the spotted lanternfly is heating up and our trees are on the front lines. Barbara Karsnitz,Kentucky Division of Forestry, will discuss what they are doing to track populations of this new invasive in Kentucky. 6.3.26
