If trees are less than 4" dbh you may want to consider replacing the tree in the next several years with another tree variety.
Removal of large healthy trees is not necessary at this time. If you are not sure about the health of ash trees on your property, contact S&S Tree Specialists.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture suggests the rule of thumb is to start treatments when the nearest confirmed emerald ash borer infestation is within 10-15 miles of your property. This currently includes most of the Twin Cities.

The Emerald Ash Borer, an invasive insect, is relatively new to the United States. It arrived in 2002 in the Detroit area and has killed millions of ash trees. Unfortunately Minnesota has one of the largest populations (900 million) of ash trees in the country. The insect was found in St. Paul near the U of MN-St. Paul Campus in May of 2009. Since the finding, 70 trees have been removed due to the infestation. The tiny insect has not yet been found outside of the 2 mile area of the original infestation.

Because this is a new pest in the area, this information is constantly changing. For the most up to date information, contact one of our ISA Certified Arborists.
