I don't necessarily agree with the methods, but I do sympathize with what government agencies are trying to do. Imagine being able to stop American Chestnut Blight before it destroyed 20-25% of the trees in the eastern forests, or keeping kudzu out of the South.

Imagine being able to stop American Chestnut Blight before it destroyed 20-25% of the trees in the eastern forests, or keeping kudzu out of the South. The chestnut blight didn't destroy most of the trees...the misguided advice from the 'experts' did that. And no, there would have been no way to prevent it from reaching North America, it would have shown up, sooner or later. Kudzu was along with multiflora rose and several other, now labeled 'evil' plants that were actually intentionally introduced and promoted by the USDA...the ones currently leading the charge for eradication. So, no, placing one's trust in the so-called experts to actually 'protect' and prevent another plant catastrophe, is a weak crutch at best |

Cut down everything in sight...infected/not infected, get it all now. In some areas (around here, being one) this resulted in pretty darn close to clear cutting large woodlots and/or removing nearly every chestnut larger than a couple of inches in diameter...those left, the young and small, were the most susceptible and most likely to be killed by the blight.
The blight takes a couple of years to kill a tree and the wood is still fine for lumber, until the tree is totally dead. If a more wait and see approach was adopted, the chances of finding resistant/immune trees would have increased exponentially. And the fact that older/larger trees would have been around for quite a while would have helped lessen some of the impacts, because even infected trees will still produce nuts.

If you can't get corn, get the lettuce and melons while they're still open to be received. It will not be long before every post office will x-ray packages. Some countries forbid the import or export of any seeds period. I suspect this is why fashion invented hems. Seeds belong to people, not to banks under the snow. Reliable Permit Solutions, LLC |
