ASH TREES

ASH TREES

Spotting damage

How to tell if a tree is infested with the emerald ash borer:

Leaves: Leaves stop growing.

Holes: Insects leave tiny D-shaped holes, or ovals with a flat side, as they leave the tree.

Patterns: Larvae burrow in S-shaped patterns under the bark.

Bottom: Branches grow at the bottom of a tree under stress.
