I firmly believe that we can save thousands of ash trees that we treat but will lose millions as this insect will and has already spread far beyond where we have detected it.  This article by Norm Sinclair of the Detroit Free Press is very well done and should be very informative to visitors to my site.  If your trees are healthy look to start treating them early.

The best way to protect healthy ash trees from the emerald ash borer is to treat them before the deadly insect gets established nearby, according to a study of ash trees in Troy.

"Starting early is the key," says David Smitley, a Michigan State University entomologist who will present the results Tuesday at a Michigan Nursery and Landscape Association convention in Grand Rapids. "Starting when it's first detected in your area ... that's going to give you the best chance of being successful."

The report says the study's findings give scientific weight to what many arborist have contended: The best way to prevent emerald ash borer infestation in a tree is to begin treatments when the insect first shows up in the area.

How do I know if my tree is an ASH tree?

Sometimes the hardest thing for us to do is to identify if we have any ash trees in our yards/woodlots.  This page is part of Dr. Dave Roberts site also listed below but takes you directly to a very informative pictorial of just what do ash trees look like.

Dr. Dave Roberts Website - from Michigan State University Extension

There are  very few informative sites that describe in great detail the entire known history of the Emerald Ash Borer here in Michigan.  The best site is by Dr. David Roberts from MSU.  There are pictures, great detailed information and further links to nearly every known article/topic on the Emerald Ash Borer.
