Emerald Ash Borer

May 10, 2014 Elizabeth

Spring is officially here. Temps were in the seventies this week and Chip’s allergies are in full swing. We’ve been watching our trees and it seems our ash tree has succumbed to emerald Ash borers and has died. Here’s a pic of the tell tale sign of the larvae.

Here’s a shot of the whole tree (on the left). The adjacent tree is hickory. It is budding out. We probably need the advice of an arborist for the best thing to do for the hickory.

Here’s Chip & Quincy enjoying the day.

We saw several orioles today and also a toad. Pretty good day!
