Your trees canbe infected for a few years beforeshowing signs of EAB. After showingsigns of EAB the tree will only live for afew more years, if you do not treat yourtree. Do nothing - eventually your tree willbecome infected. Your tree canbecome a hazard as it weakens fromthe inside out, being more susceptibleto breaking leads, and a danger onyour property. This may becomeexpensive if the tree is unstable or if itbecomes a storm damage situation.Cut down your tree & consider plantinga new tree, that is a different species.Cutting your tree down before it showssigns of infection is safest and mostcost effective.

Branch dieback: Therestricted watermovement causesbranch dieback. Thisthinning to the canopyand branches firstoccurs at the top ofthe tree movingdownward.D shaped exit hole: Theadult beetles create D-shaped holes. If youdiscover these holes,your tree is most likelyheavily infested and andlikely to die soon.Woodpecker damage:This is a common firstsign of EAB.Woodpeckers willremove the first layer oftree bark to eat theoverwintering EABlarvae.Wait and see...If you decide to donothing, your treewill eventuallybecome infectedand die. This willcause weak limbsthat are likely tobreak. This can endup being the mostexpensive option,as emergent anddangerous treescost more toremove.The amount ofchemical used isdetermined by thetree’s diameter. Treatment beginswith drilling smallholes into thetree’s root flare.A plug is theninserted into thesmall holes allowingthe tree to uptakethe chemical into itsvascular system.The injectiontreatment is an IVfor your tree!If your tree is infected with EAB anotheroption is to cut down your tree, beforeit becomes a hazard or danger topeople or structures...
