One male SWD was caught in the trap closest to the woods on the edge of a blackberry planting in Saratoga County. These traps, checked on June 20, 2019, are being monitored by Natasha Field, Cornell Cooperative Extension Eastern NY Commercial Horticulture Program.

The blackberries are still small and hard, but when they ripen, they will be at risk of infestation by SWD. So, plan accordingly!
