New York Trees Stricken by Mysterious Parasite Devastates Forests
A strange disease damages eastern trees with over 20,000 Brooklyn Forest Park trees destroyed since spring. 16,000 chestnut trees fell as germicides are deployed. The parasite, likely imported from France, spreads across the United States prompting warnings and costly measures by the Brooklyn park commission, federal experts, and state officials in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and beyond.
