Christmas tree pests and weeds required restrictions and requirements to be placed upon Christmas tree growers with plantations in "gypsy moth regulated areas". The restrictions and requirements included ongoing site monitoring, active moth eradication by the grower, accurate record keeping, and government directed moth eradication programs. Failure to abide by the rules could result in revocation of the "approved grower" status from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. The major types of conifers cultivated, pines, Douglas-firs, true firs, and spruce trees, are all affected by some types of insect pests. Douglas-firs are most vulnerable to the Cooley spruce gall adelgid. The true firs are most susceptible
Noble polyhedron 'dual' covers both kinds. The dual of a noble polyhedron is also noble. Many are also self-dual: Noble polyhedron A noble polyhedron is one which is isohedral (all faces the same) and isogonal (all vertices the same). They were first studied in any depth by Hess and Bruckner in late 19th century, and later by Grünbaum. There are four main classes of noble polyhedra: If we allow some of Grünbaum's stranger constructions as polyhedra, then we have two more infinite series of toroids: We can distinguish between dual structural forms (topologies) on the one hand, and dual geometrical arrangements when
