Ash Borer
Heard a rumor that the Emerald Ash Borer has been seen in this area.
Hope it's not true ....got 4 beautiful trees and they are in a spot that is almost impossible to reach with a crane so they would need to be climbed to take done. |

If they are not there yet, they will be soon. They have decimated ash trees up through the Concord area. I have a bunch of ash trees on my property, and treat the ones I care about. But it is only a matter of time for me, as I have seen the bugs around my property.

I suspect they have been around for a few years. Over on the back roads behind Squam I have seen the purple traps in the trees for a 2 or 3 years so I figure they must be around. I saw a couple traps in Tuftonboro last year. Just as alarming is the hemlock adelgid. I'm battling that now in Mass.

Help!
Help me out here as I have one very important Ash tree on the island that supplies an enormous amount of shade. What does this ash borer look like and what can I do to prevent it from getting at my tree?.
Thanks! Dan

yep
I've seen them out on Cow Island for at least 3 years. Not many, but hard to miss with their metallic green shells.

Root injection treatment (done by a professional tree guy) every 2 years is what I do,
