The trees came from the nursery with galls on some trees. The worst trees were not planted. I did treat the remainder. That block is still in the ground. I did leave a check but have not noticed a difference. Those trees will removed in a couple of years. I’ll have better data then. <br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature">Bob Barthel<div>Barthel Fruit Farm</div><div>Mequon WI 53097</div></div><div><br>On Mar 29, 2018, at 10:55 AM, Matt Pellerin <<a href="mailto:matt@treworgyorchards.com">matt@treworgyorchards.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">I know David Handley (UMaine) dips his strawberry plants with root shield (trichoderma) before planting.
