Nova Scotia’s Christmas tree industry faces ongoing challenges from the Balsam Woolly Adelgid (BWA), an invasive pest that threatens the health and productivity of balsam fir trees. To support tree growers in tackling this issue, the Christmas Tree Council of Nova Scotia (CTCNS) provides regular, research-driven updates on BWA management and climate adaptation strategies. Here are some recent highlights.
