00:43:10 rsniezko: How much is know about presence of P. alni in U.S. Phytophthora alni Overview Phytophthora alni Brasier & S.A. Kirk (2004) was discovered in 1993 in southern England causing lethal root and collar rot in alders. It has subsequently been reported in many European countries including the Netherlands, Germany, France, Sweden, Belgium, Austria and Hungary, and has recently been found in Alaska and Oregon. P. alni is unusually variable, perhaps as a result of recent hybridizations among related species. There are three subspecies: the most commonly isolated and most virulent subspecies P. alni ssp. alni and two less commonly isolated subspecies, P. alni ssp. uniformis and P. alni ssp. multiformis. Etymology: From Alnus, the tree from which the pathogen was first isolated. 00:44:10 Steve: Thank you for talking Alder, will we discuss the state of the marketplace / prices and mills currently buying? 00:48:35 Jason: If i wanted to gather seeds, what would the best time and method be for doing do? 00:54:28 Mason Conservation District: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/resources/pests-diseases/hungry-pests/the-threat/asian-longhorned-beetle/asian-longhorned-beetle 00:55:23 Mason Conservation District: https://invasivespecies.wa.gov/priorityspecies/citrus-asian-and-red-necked-longhorned-beetles/ 00:59:42 Phillip North: For good research on the connection between alder nitrogen and salmon look up publications of the Katchemak Bay Research Reserve in Homer, Alaska. 00:59:59 Devin McMahon: Not just past! Still used. 01:01:06 Jason: So the sap can be harvested for syrup? Do you know the sugar content? 01:01:49 Devin McMahon: (i.e. Indigenous people still have lots of uses for alder) 01:06:00 Emily Hirsch: red alder document mentioned. https://www.fs.usda.gov/research/treesearch/5556 01:06:27 Sego Jackson -just respresenting myself: When thinning, will the cut trees coppice or will the shade prevent them from resprouting? 01:10:02 Sego Jackson -just respresenting myself: Can you put link for that publication in the chat? 01:10:29 Kris Havlak: Also re: coppicing, is there an ideal age for first coppicing? I've heard needs to be young or won't regrow. 01:11:43 kket490: https://foresthealthtracker.dnr.wa.gov/FindYourForester/Index 01:11:48 Mark Bock: Can you briefly go over the blackberry/alder ecology, or provide a reference? 01:13:17 Allison Bachner (she/her): Also, WSU's ornamental plant pathology program studies phytopthera species and their impacts on ornamental and native plant species. They're located in Puyallup extension and that location also have a diagnostic lab that you can send samples in to 01:13:19 Allison Bachner (she/her): https://plantpath.wsu.edu/ 01:13:38 Angela Strauss: Several red alders on my property fell over last winter in storms, some it looks like the roots pulled out of the ground rather than the stem breaking. Is there any way to tell if more trees are likely to topple this way? 01:14:25 Mark Bock: I'm not sure if anyone else has asked, but will a copy of the slides will be made available? 01:14:31 Kevin Brown: Red alder is quite sensitive to drought - given anticipated hotter, drier, longer growing seasons, attention to site selection will become more and more important. If aiming to grow merchantable stands, may need to be careful about sites now considered marginally dry 01:15:13 s: will the webinar be available for viewing again in the future? if so, what will be the link? 01:15:32 Angela Strauss: Fermentation would also reduce sugar content 01:15:54 Sego Jackson -just respresenting myself: decadent stands management 01:16:26 Randy R. Bartelt: There are several Hardwood Mills and remote purchasing yards in Washington State. Cascade Hardwood Group has mills in Chehalis, Port Angeles and a remote logyard at Osprey Logistics in Everett. NWH has mills in Centralia and Longview and also buys in Everett. 01:18:10 Randy R. Bartelt: Site Selection Tool: FYI, the Washington Hardwood Commission is working with DNR to make their Alder Site Selection tool available to the public, scheduled for June 2023. 01:23:23 v: https://pubs.extension.wsu.edu/management-options-for-declining-red-alder-forests 01:25:06 Scott Ranney: Very informative presentation. Thank you! 01:26:11 Alan Eaker: Thanks for the preso! 01:26:43 Tamara Thomas: Thanks Patrick!! Enjoyed it! 01:26:45 roberta: thank you! Excellent! 01:26:52 kket490: Excellent presentation, thank you! 01:26:54 Alex Juchems: great presentation - thanks Patrick! 01:26:54 Sego Jackson -just respresenting myself: Super great! Thanks! 01:27:00 Dorothy Hall: Thank you! 01:27:00 Erik Rigaux: Thank you!
