A mysterious new tree disease is sweeping through the nation, carrying the potential of changing environments and local ecologies.
Beech leaf disease is currently contributing to a localized, yet significant decline of beech trees in the commonwealth, according to arborist Natascha Batchelor of Hartney Greymont, a Davey company, which is based on Cape Cod.
