DR. ROBERT HANSEN Bradford County Extension As you stand by the side of the road and look out over the leafless trees in your woodlot, you prob ably ask yourself, “What should I do now?” I want to give you a couple of do’s and don’ts. First and fore most, do not panic ! Just because your trees have no leaves does not mean they are dead or that they are all going to die. If you are ap proached by a timber harvester who says, “You had better cut these trees before they die; and I can do (hat for you,” it would be in your best interests to ignore him or her. The second thing you do is wait. Trees that have been defoli ated once will generally survive. They will put out new leaves for the remainder of the summer.

Wait about a month and see just which trees rc leaf and which ones don’t A stand of trees that has not been defoliat ed more than once over the past two seasons may possibly suffer only about 10 percent mortality. If the trees were defoliated the pre vious season, that percentage may increase dramatically. Thirdly, if a significant number of your trees do not leaf out again this season, do not panicl Dead trees can be salvaged and sold for a profit. Again, do not deal with the first timber harvester that ap proaches you. Instead, contact a reputable professional forester. (A professional forester has a four year degree in forestry or a two year degree in forestry with ade quate field experience.)
