A reader asks how they can protect their ash trees from emerald ash borer with the right treatment plan.
We have been on a two-year treatment schedule to protect our ash trees from emerald ash borer and have been fortunate to keep nearly all the trees growing and healthy. Recently we heard that it was possible to extend to a three-year treatment schedule and was wondering if this would be OK for our ash trees to save on costs?Your contractor is most likely using a trunk injection of TREE-äge™ to treat your ash trees for control of emerald ash borer.
This will reduce your costs while adequately protecting your trees.There are some things to consider before making the change. There are not many ash trees left in the Chicago area landscape, so there is probably low emerald ash borer activity in the vicinity of your garden. If there was high pressure from emerald ash borer locally, it would be safer to stay with a two-year treatment schedule.
