Emerald Ash borer

[Al Cormack]

Saw this on the BBC news science page:

 

BBC News - Emerald ash borer beetle on the march across Europe

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

Yep! Makes Chalara pale into insignificance doesn't it. Worrying times indeed.

Devastating news, really hope they can prevent it before it really takes hold.

One of the guys who has just joined us said he has taken down 2 maples in the last year with ash bore as there are so few ash trees left they are moving species. Not good at all!!

More work for us tree men but kinda sad when it gets to the point that every ash you climb is dead/dying.

I've just been shared this very interesting video on EAB from an Arborist in Montreal.

 

It doesn't matter if you don't speak French as the production, editing and animation make for compelling and worrying viewing.
