The Pervasive Threat: Emerald Ash Borer
The silent menace behind the ash tree crisis is the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB):
1. Destructive Nature
EAB is an invasive insect that burrows beneath the bark of ash trees, disrupting nutrient flow and ultimately killing the tree.
2. Wide Geographic Reach
EAB has rapidly spread across North America, leaving ash trees vulnerable in many regions.
3. Lethal Consequences
Once infested, ash trees often die within a few years, posing a risk to your landscape and even safety concerns.
4. Environmental Impact
The loss of ash trees has significant environmental consequences, as these trees play a crucial role in ecosystems.
