Re: bringing plants in/EAB

As far as I know, it is not here yet. So far, the drastic measures  
have not stopped in other parts of the country (with the possible  
exception of NJ). Is there a reason the walnut is thought to be the  
next victim? Why not any of the Jugandlandaceae (hickories, pecans,  
etc)? I understand that the state of Michigan banned any ashwood from  
leaving the state, but since the EAB flies, and quite well, we have  
to look at that method of spread as well.
