    The EAB situation in Buffalo is really bad. I have all 7 of my trees treated every two years with the plug injection method. My 3 neighbors chose to do nothing and lost all of theirs, payed a fortune to have the dead ash trees removed. I'm the only home with any old trees on their property now. Such a sad thing. Wish there was a predator for EAB around.

    I just had an internship this past summer at Allegheny National Forest doing the yearly ash surveys. An to give you an update it's not looking good. My boss and other student interns measured about 30 different plots about 1500 trees and most of them have a class 5 canopy and are dead. multiple D holes in each tree. Very few were living even with the injection the forest service has been treating them with. Within 5-7 there will be nothing left. We also conducted surveys for ash regen at all plots as well and that is looking even worse since the deer population is so high they love feeding on new sprouts, so none ever get the chance to grow. Looks like will have to find a new timber and baseball bat wood.

    If you guys had a good hybrid for sale I'd be all over it or preferably mating "lingering ash" they'll be less palatable either way though. I read that decaying American Ash leaves are one of, if not the only tree that young amphibians depend on. It's the same reason they don't kill the Ash borer though. All these young ashes produce tons of seeds to compensate but glossy buckthorn seems extremely eager to choke it out.

    Hopefully someone can answer this for me; I live in Utah which of course is in the mid-western United States. So far, the EAB has not reached Utah, but as I was looking at my little ash tree in the back yard, I saw what appeared to be an EAB, but it was all black with red eyes. It was about half an inch long. Should I be worried? It looks exactly the same, just way different colors. So... like a BAB...

      Matt, thankfully EAB does not infect or disease trees like dutch elm disease and chestnut blight had fatally done. While whats only fatal to ash trees, is borers exponentially building population numbers, making it able to reach dangerous "Infestation" stage levels locally. Meaning, it takes a lot of vulnerable trees and a lot of EAB over five years locally to become dangerous. Otherwise ash trees survive low numbers of borers just fine.
      Also remember, all EAB exit out of trees to fly to other trees and feed on leaves. So it's not like termites that once in tree, remain and continue producing till no more wood remains.
      Thus once glutinous EAB kills off 99% of its remaining food source, even if EAB continues to survive locally at low levels. It would take 50 years before enough ash trees grew in woods again, and 50 straight years of cities planting all new ash trees.
      What we now do know is, after 12 years of owners fully protecting family tree. And with last generations of seedling trees now getting older. All the remaining local surviving trees, and the limited EAB will coexist. Without fatally killing off whole trees for foreseeable future.

    I had a 80ft tall 40 inches diameter female ash next to my bedroom in the backyard and deck was built around the tree . It gotten so big and lift and separate the deck over the years. I believe it got termite on some branches and some branches looks dead and not good but the main trunk is beautiful and healthy !
    I am in southern CA and don’t believe it got EAB
    The arborist told me that the deck is not good for the tree and it had a slant and too close to the house like 7ft from the patio door .
    I am still crying and forever heart broken!

      Hey paisano. Here's to you and your pops success becoming your region's most Superiorly knowledgeable regarding management of urban forestries costliest disaster ever. Something you can not only tell your grandkids about someday. But also able to physically show your grandchildren living trees having spent their first 120 years preparing for their next 100 or more that your family had patriotically inoculated until danger from fatal infestation populations inevitably past after 12 years.
      I am an Italian American arborist here in Chicago who helps teach other professionals and tree owners about everything ash trees and EAB. Please check out my historical blog to learn some more interesting technical information both culturally and ecologically. scottieashseed.wordpress.com
      All I can suggest is go door-to-door letting individual property owners know how they do on an ash tree or two. And how spending total of $400 or less after 12 years is an alternative option instead of paying $5,000 to lose already established maturing tree. Then lose one or two new replacement trees costing $300 or more to purchase and install, after 99% of the new trees arrive from nurseries with trunks already to deepen root balls.(Does your family tree service offer root flare excavations using air wands to remove dose of soil & mulch burying trunks?)
      As a professional arborist your pops must also be excited about prospect of great need to begin structurally pruning thousands of new replacement trees. In order for them to retain apical dominance Central leaders, by pruning out codominant stems.

      Nick K , think they meant plant other than Ash. But EAB won't girdle tree until age eight, or after reaching 1" DBH in stem size. Even back when Elm trees began dying from DED, towns thought of planting with native Elm since such a superior urban tree. Ironically, Ash has been an even superior urban tree. Comparable to sycamore plane tree.
