[QUOTE="LarryTheCableGuy, post: 485915, member: 8151"] I don't really know the answer. We have a LOT of bark beetle kills here too. From what I understand the bark beetle problem is secondary to drought. In "good" (non-drought) conditions the trees can normally ward off the beetles with sap. When the trees are weakened by drought they can't produce enough sap to keep the beetles under control. I have seen quite a few trees that were really rotten in the center but I have no idea how long they were standing dead before they were taken down and what types of secondary/tertiary organisms or disease processes may have caused the decay. Hopefully someone will speak up and set me straight here. . [/QUOTE]
