Emerald Ash Borer has arrived in Western New York. This devastating pest will, over time, decimate the ash tree population in New York State as it has done in Michigan. As I write this in early October, it is easy to identify ash trees as they are exhibiting their yellow fall color. Imagine that many of the yellow trees you see now will be gone! Individual trees can be saved with pesticide injections, however. Spring is the best time to inject, giving individuals time to prepare. Get ready! And, please do not transport firewood! This is one of the ways EAB is spread.
