Neighbor's young cherry block yesterday. Dog and handlers training in detecting devastating diseases Western X & Little Cherry diseases. Novel approach that is hopefully successful. At the moment, entire orchards are torn out if the trees are infected.
Apologies for the audio, my dog was right beside me:)

Washington, the Evergreen State 😊
