Re: [IBC] Chinese Elm and mites

Billy M. Rhodes

I don't know where you are or where the tree is being kept with this
bag over it. BUT, here in Florida, four days in the sun like that would mean a
well cooked tree and if the mites hadn't killed it the sun did.
Take the bag off.

Ontario Canada. It's in a windowsill with morning sun. Still quite chilly
here. I did take the bag off today. Not because it was being cooked (it's
sprouting new leaves actually), but because it was too damp. I don't see
any signs of webs, so hopefully it's taken care of. Thanks for your input.

I have no concept of that far north, but the tree should be outside all the
time as soon as possible. Maybe some of the more northern members will
suggest when. It can't be a specific date. It will probably be something like,
"When the night temperatures don't go below XX."
