It is nice to know how long it has been in the US and its history. Fortunately the Black Pine is not a host for the longhorned beetle, I know you are likely refering to the Acers and Carpinus that several Korean companies were importing. The beetle should be feared because it is difficult to detect, until you know how to find their entry boring holes into the tree. The grub are very large and very destructive and went undetected by USDA inspectors as well. Thanks for the info but I really shared photo to show and discuss the importance of wiring Japanese Black Pine.
