sorry for the typos and the news....SOILS are turning alkaline. Let me know if anyone is aware of this! Our young black locust trees are all dead in ONE YEAR.... not one leaf. And the older ones barely have any leaves and they have been here for many many years, always healthy. Bumbles bees have been coming here for over 20 years. I did research and Black Locusts are highly sensitive to ALUMINUM! Greenhouses are now a very good idea....I just hope the Pines aren't dying from this too. They like acid soils....???? This is here in NE Washington.
