Not a few weeks after, all the pine trees in his back yard started showing the popcorn like blobs of sap all over the trunks, the tell-tale sign of beetle infestation!
That's precisely why they don't allow the logs to be harvested in Ohio and turn trees into pulp. The federal government said there is no good way to kill the larvae. In Ohio it was the Asian Longhorn Beetle killing many hardwood varieties.
