Emerald Ash Borer Awareness (EAB) Week.

 The Davey Tree Expert Company

It's Emerald Ash Borer Awareness (EAB) Week. Emerald ash borer (EAB) looks harmless, but don’t let this metallic green foe fool you. EAB has left a path of destruction in its wake since it was identified in Michigan in 2002. Do you know how to tell if your ash trees are infested with EAB? Here are 5 ways to tell: 

1. Stripping of bark by woodpeckers searching for the larvae. 

2. Chewing damage on foliage edges. 

3. Small “D-shaped” holes chewed through the bark by emerging adults. 

4. S-shaped tunnels beneath the bark.

5. Multiple trunk sprouts with heavy infestation.
