Hacking A Young-ish Ash Tree (Apparently)

[TreeVB]

Usually eab is in an area at least 3 years before an arbortionist gets lucky and finds it. If it ain't there yet it will be soon. I know you're the only fine pruner in town so it sounds like it's up to you to keep your eyes peeled for the little devil!

One of very few, and thanks.

Yes, but I took off quite a bit for one season and will do a bit more next year. Tree is already being attacked by Lilac/ash borer so being quite "nice" this time around until that treatment begins is key here. That is one thing that is often missed is too many people want results right now. Trees take a lot of time to grow and with that, results will take time to become apparent.

That critter is attracted to stressed ash so don't forget about cultural stress management
