Amazing story about how red color comes into wood. Apparently not a virus from the soil or a Fusarium fungus, but made by the tree in response to wounding!! :eek: See: http://www.plpa.agri.umn.edu/~robertb/pdfreprints/redstain.pdf
this study done in SE MN.

You guys who have boxelder to remove (we don't have many in NC), see if they can be wounded now and harvested in a year or two so the color can form...?
