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.
To determine if your ash tree should be removed or may warrant preventive treatment, consult an ISA Certified Arborist or other experienced tree care professional.

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.
