Box Elder (Bug and Tree) I went to Box Elder High School. :-)
no they will not kill trees because i had a tree with box elder bugs and our tree didn't die but there is something that you purchase on the internet and it kills them it's called corana something lik that
The box elder tree is not named after the box elder bug. The trees in question (Acer negundo) receive their name from the similarity of their white wood to that of a boxwood and of their pinnately compound foliage to that of an elder. The name-saking serves the other way around, with the insects in question (Boisea trivittata) being linked with their favorite food source.
My research indicates that there is no such thing as a "box elder virus". There is a box elder bug, so named because it is attracted to the box elder tree. In normal concentrations, it poses no danger to the tree, its wood or to human health. It is simply a nuisance. http://www.entomology.cornell.edu/public/IthacaCampus/ExtOutreach/DiagnosticLab/Factsheets/Boxelder.html
Trees such as bald cyprus, box elder, cottonwoods, Lombardy poplars, and silver maples grow quickly. The problem with trees that grow quickly is that they are often weak.
The box elder is the only tree in the maple (acer) genus that has clusters of 3. All other maples have clusters of 5 leaves. The box elder Acer negundo is a native of North America . The leaves are pinnate with 3 to 5, sometimes 7 to 9 leaflets . So it could still be a box elder.
sort of, very different to ours
I've found that in their first year, they'll grow really fast (maybe a couple feet in my area) so they seem to have "popped up" everywhere when I wasn't looking. And they make so many seeds that that happens a lot so a lot of people consider them weeds.
the bugs are called box elder bugs you cannot totally get rid of them unless you get rid of the box elder tree or trees, but you can control them by spraying them with soap and water.
The duration of Box Elder - film - is 1.52 hours.
