MADISON, Wis. - Oct. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- Treat a Sick Ash Tree Before The Leaves Fall

If you want to save your ash tree from the Emerald Ash Borer, do so before leaves fall from trees.

Treating a sick ask tree requires leaves to take the treatment from the roots up to the branches – leaves are the mechanism by which this happens.

According to tree arborist Will Torgeson, “Now is the time to treat healthy ash trees.  It can take 4-5 years before a tree dies from infestation.  By treating ash trees now that are mostly healthy, prior to them losing foliage, there is a higher success rate at saving that ash tree.”

Systemic insecticide treatments of ash trees can be a very useful in response to, or in preparation for, emerald ash borer infestation, along with removal of known infested trees. Residents are urged to consult certified arborists to assess ash trees for treatment.

Specialists advise that you begin treating ash trees once emerald ash borers have been confirmed within 15 miles.

Homeowners should consider treating ash trees of the highest value, removing those showing signs of infestation and planting different species.
