Pine shoot beetle threat prompts Maryland search
State inspectors scour Christmas tree farms and nurseries for the pine shoot beetle a pest first found in July near Cleveland Ohio. The insect has already reached 43 counties across six states and could devastate pines by girdling trunks and deforming shoots, though Maryland has yet to find any at 91 surveyed sites. Local growers express cautious optimism as quarantines snap into effect in several states to curb spread.
