That could be the foundation of the true problem. Introduced species may
thrive, but often succumb to something in the end. A friend of mine here
had a nursery 20 years ago and imported Afghan pines, which all did well
in our similar climate...that is until recently. Almost every yard
around here has one or two dead ones, all put in 20 years ago. Nobody
knows what did them all in. Our area had native cherry trees once but
they all succumbed to the German immigrant furniture makers at the turn
of the century.
