Emerald Ash Borer

Last year we had an ash tree removed from our lawn because it had been infected by Emerald Ash Borers and died. I've monitored our ash trees this summer and have only found a few infected trees. Within a couple of days this tree went from looking healthy to looking like its bark was blasted off.



This section of bark on the ash tree has fallen off and reveals the cambium layer under the bark where the Emerald Ash Borer creates tunnels as it eats the inner bark layer.
