Very informative. Thank you for your work.

When I was very young old framers would swear that spreading chicken manure around the trunk base would kill any insect inside the tree. What would you say to that method of pest killer that is natural ?? Peace v

Do Ash Borer run in a yearly cycle? I don't recall having this issue in previous years. But this year we had 4 trees infected that we have to cut down.

Sorry to hear that, I have 1 beautiful little tree that I will be watching. They weren't even in the US in previous years, they were introduced from abroad like so many other pests and diseases.
