Summarized data of felled western white pine in experiment 3 as of 21 October 2015, where 7 of 10 trees per treatment were autopsied. The percent of bole height to percent circumference attacked by MPB and stained phloem was calculated. The controls had the greatest staining with a mean of 55.6% of tree height, which differed significantly from the TREE-äge/V/GLV trees with only 21.2% of bole height stained. The TREE-äge/PPZ-treated trees were intermediate, with 38.3% of bole height stained. Likewise, the controls had the greatest mean square meter of phloem blue-stained, followed by TREE-äge/PPZ and TREE-äge/V/GLV, but these were not significant. Of the dead (n = 10) trees, 49.9% of bole height was blue-stained, which was significantly different from the live (n = 11) trees with 27.9% of bole height stained. Furthermore, mean square meter area of live and dead trees (3.2 ± 1.9 SD and 6.4 ± 2.9 SD, respectively) was statistically significant. Grouping information used the Tukey method and at the 95% confidence level.
