Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture reports:
Since its accidental introduction into North America, EAB has killed
millions of ash trees in 10 eastern states. The metallic-green adult
beetles are a half inch long, and are active from May to September.
Signs of EAB infestation include one-eighth inch, D-shaped exit holes
in ash tree bark and serpentine tunnels packed with sawdust under the
bark. EAB larvae kill ash trees by tunneling into the wood and feeding
inside the tree.
The Minnesota Nursery & Landscape Association
recognizes companies holding certifications or licensures as “Outdoor
Living Experts”. When you see this seal next to a company, you'll know
they're committed to the highest industry standards of professionalism.
