Fighting the Silent Killer of Ash Trees
Is your ash tree looking a bit under the weather? It might be battling a formidable foe: the emerald ash borer (EAB). This tiny insect packs a mighty punch, wreaking havoc on ash trees across Baltimore County, MD, and beyond. At Lasbury Tree and Shrub LLC, we're on a mission to help you spot, treat, and prevent EAB infestations before they turn your beloved ash trees into firewood. Here's what you need to know about EAB:
- It's a severe threat to ash trees
- It disrupts the tree's vascular system
- Infestations can lead to tree death
- Early detection is crucial for treatment
If you suspect an EAB infestation, don't wait.
Reach out to our expert arborists for a thorough assessment and tailored treatment plan.
Spotting the Signs: Is Your Ash Tree Under Attack?
Emerald ash borers are sneaky invaders, but they leave telltale signs. Knowing what to look for can mean the difference between saving your tree and losing it. Here are the red flags:
- Canopy dieback (thinning branches)
- Epicormic shoots (suckers growing from the trunk)
- Vertical bark splits
- D-shaped exit holes
- S-shaped tunnels under the bark
- Unusual woodpecker activity
- The top or crown begins to thin, with fewer leaves and dead branches
- Cracks and splits in the bark
- Small, new shoots and branches from the trunk and lower branches
If you've noticed any of these symptoms, it's time to call in the pros. Our team at Lasbury Tree and Shrub is ready to assess your trees and provide expert care.
