The Emerald Ash Borer Beetle-How to Save Your Ash Tree
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 бер 2023
- The emerald ash borer beetle is now in the Portland, Oregon, area and is spreading rapidly. In a few years, nearly all the ash trees will be dead including yours, unless you take preventative measures. In this video, Nathan explains what you can do to save your ash tree. In most cases, an ash tree can be treated for 20 to 30 years for the cost of removing it. Check out this video and learn all about it. For a deep dive into this subject, check out our longer video at • Emerald Ash Borer Beet... . Cheers!
My tree guy came out and just treated my ash today
From The Responsible Treestorian in me, I am so glad I watched this video. At one time from the years 2006 up until 2018. I would watch every new video if anything to do with EAB. Primarally assuring everyone was capable of making best informed decision. Regardless if that meant removal, planning to sell property in 3-8 yrs anyways so purchase 55 dollar worth, enough to drench 6 to 12 trees. Then let next owner deal with $1200 to $5,000 removal cost.$3,500 to remove$350 to grind stump, on top of having to pay to lose your favorite tree anyways. Or $600 for bottle of tree-ageG4, reformulated for average Joe without a state pesticide endorsement100% Kill all EAB's dead
All the ashes in my neighborhood have died, but I treated mine not because of Emerald Ash Borer, but because it had these brown seed pod bugs
Anyway, it saved my tree when everybody else’s tree died
Michigan sends its regards 😈
Do pruning live branches release pheromones that can attract the EOB? What about MOB?
As far as I know, pruning branches an ash trees do not attract the EAB. I have yet to hear the nation's leading scientist mention this in all of the seminars and conferences I have attended where this is discussed. With regard to the MOB, this appears to the case. Insects, not trees, release pheromones to attract the opposite sex, while trees release chemicals called secondary metabolites that apparently can attract this beetle. We're still just learning about the MOB since it has only been in Oregon for a few months, or a year at the most, and in CA since about 2019.
This is actually legitimate. And the cost of removal of trees is insane.
$2600 to cut down a huge ash
We have a second tree that’s infected too
We left the stump
It was huge and it leaned both ways towards our house and the neighbors house
I live in Cincinnati and have a few oak trees with holes around the trunk. How do you treat and how long before they’re dead? Trees are about 40 feet high.
If the holes are uniform, equidistant from each other and in parallel rows and are a little smaller than a pencil eraser in size, then this is likely the work of a sapsucker woodpecker. If so, there is probably nothing to worry about since in only rare occurrences (at least in my experience in my local area) very rarely does this result in the death of the tree. Beyond that, I don't know what to tell since I'm not familiar with the issues facing trees in your area. I live and work in western Oregon.
Good news from Chicago. Homeowner purchased Self proactively applied general use Generic soil drench easily protects trees ages 65 and under for less than $20-$45. As simple as fertilizing. Only improperly inoculated trees show signs of any decline. Drench or trunk inject of imidacloprid must be applied, ideally once ground thaws by mid-April, Mid-may latest. Since imidacloprid only capable of controlling first two instar stages. And requires one full month for complete uptake of product. Otherwise, applying after mid-May thru to August waste of time. Only Ememectin benzoate can be applied as late as end of July or first week in August and still result in 100% efficacy managing against that season's EAB. If large Ash tree over age 100.
Best to begin imidacloprid drench before the least bit signs of earlier than usual fall leaf color & premature leaf drop. If large Ash already showing crown dieback, drenching no longer an option & thus must be professionally injected ASAP. Only improperly inoculated trees still show signs of any decline. And should show vigorous signs of recovery by year two of Treatment.
Remember, almost every EAB completely exits unprotected Ash every spring. Same time tree producing all new layer of bark tissue beginning even before bud break & tree leafing out.
Treatment no longer need for rest of trees life once EAB no longer has dozens of unprotected local trees Borers must have to exponentially rebuild to "Fatal infestation population levels. Otherwise, remaining trees protected from past damage, and ones having fully recovered. Similar to those local trees first faced with EAB's unannounced arrival. Already proven to handle limited reoccurring numbers each season, capable of regrowing all new tissue where final 2 juvenile instar stages etched deepest last fall.
Apply full dose every 3 yrs for initial decade. Then once after five years. only twice more to fully protect for 10 years. where we discovered cure that transforms inoculated trees into giant sized EAB bug zappers. Both instantly Substantially lowering borer populations so efficiently and inexpensively. EAB no longer decides the fate of Trees, allowing owners, Churches, parks to patriotically conserve 1or2 out of 5 most prized historic specimens while pacing removal replacement.
When parkway location has line of three or more ashes. By Temporarily protecting and removing one or two trees each year. Will look like better situation than removing all of them same time. scheduling required time to irrigate (Just like new sod post care). Proactively preventing drought dieback otherwise requiring replacement of replacement only after warranty expires or drastically shortened 25-35 yr. service life.
And continue post nursery specialized “Structural pruning” care 2-3 times over first 15 formative yrs. To promote superior apical dominant growth structure. owners get to decide Everything Ash trees & EAB

My city just started removing every Ash that is on a city street,
Which city is that?
"I will have a shot of whiskey to chase down all the climate change weather we're having."
Sorry when I seen your handle that was one of the first things crossing my mind.
So no doubt you are familiar with Dr Fujita and his scale to determine tornado severity. We are still pretty proud here knowing how Fujita directed the Satellite and Mesometeorology Project at our UChicago. and I had the luck of attending one of his Wind Research Laboratory lectures. Squall line is one of my favorite weather events. So I got my friend to ask him about great lake michigan Seiche of '54 where fisherman working the lines off of harbor break water were taken completely by surprise.
When at first water level retreated, and only one individual there knew about what was going to happen. yes...Tsunami, more specifically a meteotsunami.
Sounds like your municipality should have hired at least one professional arborist. Well as long as they do not plan on wasting money replacing with new trees.
See this version of ash included in this video? Yes included, like included bark.
I know compared to Midwest and East Coast. Down through Texas Arizona California and up to Oregon. For years nurseries never caught ripping customers off by continuing to promote and sell literally one of the worst versions of Ash variety which similar or maybe even worse to a calorie Pear. Developing half dozen or more multiple poorly attached codominant stems all diverging alongside each other off of low point. Easily creating catastrophic failures where one or more would rip off the main trunk.
So no doubt there's a lot of crappy ass ash out your way. It sure would be interesting to keep an eye out for those few really high valued specimens. Specifically American White Ash having just survived first 150 years preparing to live out an additional 250 years or more. Not a bit of internal rot along with high confidence could easily stand another 50 years or more.
Here are several clues that what I professionally stated above Regarding your municipality that's going to end up Wasting money planting new trees definitely come true in Spades...
⇶By removing trees now before they become diseased, this will help us slow spread of EAB.
⇼ (Xxcept Ash trees don't get infected with disease, that was American Elm)
⇶Excuse, we expect to have every one of our Ash trees completely removed within the decade.
⇶We will not be repeating the same mistake our predecessors had when planting too many ash trees to replace Elm. By diversifying species, we will prevent another monoculture catastrophe like we're facing today.
⇼ [Wait, wouldn't retaining a handful of public ash trees actually diversify species collection that much more?!?]
⇶As elected officials we have responsibly decided to saving money by removing and replacing.
⇼Rather than allowing any homeowners to experiment with our parkway trees themselves as even treated trees will continue declining and still require removal In the end anyway.
There killing way more then ash trees .
EAB has tried to survive on American fringe tree only because directly rated related to super long lived Olive tree family. Just as American Ash is related to Olive. Also Privet, Jasmine, lilac.
This is not true. You can save it yourself. Way to many tree cutting companies telling people that they need to have them cut them down. In Naperville I'll the trees were treated and most have survived. You as a homeowner can in fact treat them yourself. You can buy the chemical and inject the trunk. It needs to be done every two years for the life of the tree. It's not super expensive.
No YOU are the one who is incorrect on several points! Allow me to explain. Everything I said was true and everything stated here is from the top governmental and academic experts in the country. I have been to their seminars and heard them in person and gotten my info straight from them after they've conducted more than two decades of research on this subject. Next, I'm not telling anyone they need to cut their trees down unless they want to. So don't lay that one one me! And yes, you are correct, a homeowner can treat their trees themselves. The main insecticide used to treat EAB (emamectin benzoate) is not a restricted use pesticide requiring a license to purchase or apply, HOWEVER, and here's the big one, to obtain maximum treatment efficacy, you need to spend several thousand dollars on the injection equipment plus the product (it's not cheap!). How many homeowners want to spend this kind of money to treat one or two trees? Please answer that one. These trees need to be injected. Drenches and bark sprays don't work. I spent over $5 K on my equipment and product, and that was at a discounted price. You are also wrong about the expense of the product. Yes, you can use an inexpensive imidacloprid containing product, but according to my sources, this is a cheap shortcut that doesn't have the same save rate (only about 50% or so) as what it is commonly used by most experts, which is a product contain something like emamectin benzoate. You are also wrong on another point. Imedicloprid at the sufficient rate and potency required to treat the EAB is not available for the non-licensed homeowner. This is because it is a restricted use pesticide, so no, the average homeowner, by federal law, cannot treat their own trees with such a product, even though it is relatively inexpensive. And even if this were effective, you still need to apply it with the expensive injection equipment. So let's get our facts straight here.
Cheers!
No, no, no....HE IS RIGHT! THERE ARE NATURAL WAYS TO REPEL. THIS IS JUST BIG BISINESS IDEA THAT IS TRYING TO DUMB YOU THE F DOWN .👨🦽➡️
I will post again soon, but different acc 👨🦽➡️❤
And my ash tree is very important to me because it shades my deck
I don’t want to pay to have a dead tree removed!!!!
