Last year was the worst I have had them and it was bad.  I am going to do the soil drench for my linden, birch and katsura this year.  This past season I covered my weeping larch with a lite wt row cover stitched up the side to make a sleeve and I will try to cover my green beans with row covers next season.  In Feb I will be attending Iowa States Shade Tree Short course and am registered for a JB control class.
