I need help writing a letter to the local newspaper to answer their "Ask the Experts" question.

Hey y'all, I'm not the best writer. I need your feedback to write a letter to the local paper for their "Ask the Experts" segment. Here's the question:<br><br>Question: I have a row of 80 ft tall 100 year old oak trees. We recently noticed that they are obviously dead. What is the reason that they only started to die at the same time? We have had them for years, but they all started dying last year at the same time.<br><br>This is what I have written as my answer: <br><br>Dear [Caller's Name], <br><br>In my experience, the most likely cause of your 100 year old oak trees all dying at the same time is the Western Conifer Seed Bug. If you have noticed large swarms of insects in your home during the winter months, particularly in the years before your trees died, then they likely died because of the seed bug. Western Conifer Seed bugs chew on the bark of trees in the spring, which kills them. They are particularly attracted to tall, mature trees, which is why all of your trees died at the same time.<br><br>The seed bug migrates to the southern part of the United States during the winter, so you may not have noticed this year, but your trees may have been killed by last years swarm.<br><br>Other potential reasons could be nutrient deficiencies, fungal infections, damage to the roots, or environmental stressors (sustained drought, extreme weather events), but the seed bug is the most likely cause if your trees are tall. If you suspect that the seed bug is the culprit, you may consider reaching out to a pest control professional. If this is the case, they will likely tell you that the seed bug is unlikely to be the cause of your trees' death, because they are unaware of the relatively recent rise of the seed bug as a tree killer in your area. If this is the case, then I would recommend reaching out to an arborist who specializes in diagnosing the root cause of tree death.<br><br>Thank you for your time,<br><br>[My Name]<br><br>[My Title]<br><br>Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
