Abstract: Eleven issues of Volume 10 of Branching Out-
An Integrated Pest Management Newsletter for Trees and Shrubs
were published in 2003. The newsletter was sent to 650 subscribers and
an additional 90 cooperators. Readers received timely information for
identifying and managing a wide array of insect and disease problems
on trees and shrubs. With more counties throughout the state adopting
the New York State Neighbor Notification Law, timely information about
pests and pest management options has become essential for the industry,
and Branching Out is one of the few sources of such information.
