Is My Tree Affected?
Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) can infest a tree up 15 miles away.
​
If there is a tree showing signs within a few blocks of your house, yours is most likely infested.
​
If you've never seen an EAB on my tree, how do you know?
​
EAB is going to start by infesting the canopy, not the trunk of the tree. It also doesn't usually hang out on the leaves, it usually burrows under the bark.
​
Your tree can have a low level infestation for several years before showing any signs of damage.
The first visible sign of damage is the thinning of the canopy. In the picture to the right, we can see the lower left limb thinning compared to the rest of the tree.
​
The thinning canopy also means that it might need removal the following year.
Below, we can see no difference between a health tree and the first two years of an infested tree. However, in year three that we see the thinning canopy.
​
The size of the tree will also impact the number of EAB it will take to thin the tree.
Smaller trees will require fewer EAB before it dies. Larger trees will take a whole lot more.
