FSA outlines Tree Assistance Program for commercial nurseries and reporting windows
Summary
Green explained that commercial tree losses (natural disaster, insect, disease) should be reported within 90 days of the event or 90 days from when loss becomes apparent; losses are referred to a loss adjuster for appraisal and potential replanting or rehabilitation.
Donnie Green summarized the Tree Assistance Program for commercial nursery operators who sustained tree losses from natural disasters, insect infestations or disease. He said producers must report a loss to the FSA office "until the later of 90 calendar days from the date of the loss or the date when the loss is apparent," and staff will refer reported losses to a loss adjuster for appraisal.
Green described possible outcomes after appraisal: eligibility for replacement (replanting) if trees are dead, or rehabilitation practices (pruning, cutting back) if trees are damaged but recoverable. He advised producers to report losses promptly to preserve eligibility under the program.
