Thank you, Bob. I wasn't positive on the identification, but I haven't heard of any other type of ash borer that causes this much damage to the tree. We do see woodpecker damage on the trees, but I don't remember if we saw it predominately on the south side of the tree. The bark is falling...

Thanks for all of the great information folks. I'm doing all I can to get myself geared up for the upcoming battle. Knowledge is key here, and you've all contributed. With your help I can now focus my studies on specific issues and concerns. I just wish I knew for sure what it is I...

SouthSoundTree, Thank you for the suggestions on the advertising, as well as the tips on educating the public as to how to go about the intervention issue. I have a lot of homework to do. I've been reading about quarantined counties and municipalities, as well as the rules and regulations...

Can anyone tell me a little bit about the disposal process regarding EAB infected ash? Does the tree have to be entirely destroyed by fire, chipper, etc? This is all new to me, folks. Forgive me for asking such trivial questions regarding this issue. Joel

Al Smith, You're right, Sir. A green ash is a very hardy tree. Cutting it down does not get rid of the thing. It will grow back fairly quickly. I didn't know that the EAB would avoid the saplings. This is something I'll have to explore further. Thanks for that. The local forestry...

So.......what are we facing here? If this turns out to be EAB, what can I expect as a result of this discovery? Who is the leading expert on the war against EAB? I'm sure some of our members.....if not all.....have been involved with this battle at one time or another. Some input on how the...

Thanks for the replies, folks. Yep......just what I figured....EAB. This is horrible news for us, as Green Ash is our most common tree. If there is any good news that could come from this discovery, it's the fact that our State government has already made provisions for attacking this...

MB, It came from a dead Green Ash tree. I believe this is a sign of EAB larvae at work, but the local forestry manager tells me that there are no known cases of EAB in North Dakota....until now? I honestly don't know.....but it sure looks like the work of the Emerald Ash Borer larvae to me...

I invited my local forestry manager over to the house tonight so that I could show him something I found while processing firewood this afternoon. He's not entirely sure what it is.....but we both have our suspicions. Any feedback from our members here would be greatly appreciated. A big...
