Emerald Ash Borer

For several years now, EAB has been a point of discussion on the Mainline. Do we treat, do we remove proactively, or do we just wait? Now that EAB has killed thousands of ash trees across the region, the time has come for us to answer these questions.

If you have ash trees that are still healthy, it is not too late to treat them. However, that window is certainly closing. We have been actively removing ash trees killed by EAB along the Mainline for the past two years. EAB will continue to work its way through our area attacking each ash it encounters.

As arborists tasked with removing dead ash trees, timeliness is very important when removing ash trees as they become brittle and dangerous to climb as they decline.

The longer your ash tree goes unprotected, the risk to your property and personal safety increases. Safety is our first priority. Fortunately, we have specialized equipment to make our work less dangerous.

If you have questions about your trees, please reach out to a Shreiner arborist today.
