My sister lost a couple of trees during the latest CT storm. I went and picked up a load of wood from her house this past weekend. My BIL thinks that one of the maples that came down was a sugar maple, based on an ID he did with the leaves during the summer. The wood has the stripes that I would associate with ambrosia maple. My understanding is the stripes are caused by the ambrosia beetle, but everything I find talks about them infesting soft maple.
So, does anybody know if the ambrosia beetle can also get into sugar maple and cause the same discolorations?
A picture of some of the logs. Normally I like my basement shop, but having to lug down loads of cut up logs really makes me wish for a ground level shop.....
