Emerald Ash Borer
In the recent years, you may have heard about an insect ragging havoc on Ontario's ash trees. The responsible insect is the Emerald Ash Borer. The first Emerald Ash Borers were discovered in 2002 in the area around Detroit, Michigan. It is believed their origins are in Asia, having been transported on cargo ships and planes to North America. Since then it has spread over 35 states in the US and over 10 provinces in Canada, including Ontario. What is this pesky little bug that's causing millions of dollars of revenue loss and tax payers money as well as the tragic loss of our Ash trees which are vital to ecology? To put it simply, it's a tiny little bug that doesn't do much on their own, but in large numbers, they're mighty powerful.
The adult beetle doesn't cause much trouble. They feed on the ash foliage but cause very little damage. It's their babies, also known as larvae, that are causing the main damage. The adults chew through the outer foliage and place their larvae inside the ash tree. The larvae then feed on the inner bark of the tree, preventing the tree to transport water and nutrients from its roots. As the larvae grow, they bore through the tree and eventually make their way out, making the tree's insides resemble Swiss Cheese.
Possible signs that your tree might be affected are D-shaped holes in the outer layer of your tree. This would've been the adult ash borers entrance and exit holes. If you're seeing crown dieback, i.e. the outer part of your crown dying out, that may be a sign of ash borers. Woodpecker style holes, would also be a potential sign. Unfortunately, the symptoms are not very obvious until the insect has established a large population. That is why it's very important to be proactive and get the right kind of tree services.
You may wonder if the only course of action is to to cut your tree down. In many cases yes, however just like with our teeth, rather than just pulling the tooth, there are treatment options if the problem is detected early enough. Recognizing the symptoms early, treating the tree and allowing it to recovery are vital to safe the ash tree. However, after a large population of ash borers have been established inside, tree cutting is the only option. Otherwise the risk is having a dying tree in your backyard that is structurally unstable and could fall over anytime with a little bit of wind. You may not notice its instability until it's too late. That is because the tree is dying from the inside, having literally been starved to death. This is the reason why the economic impact of the ash borer has been very significant. Municipalities all across the US and Canada are "eating" the high tree removal cost and spending millions of dollars on ash tree removal, even healthy ones, in fears of property damage and injury.
Most affected ash trees are green ash, white ash, black ash, pumpkin ash and blue ash. If you have any of these trees in your backyard, or suspect that you may have the Ash Borer bug affecting your tree, give us a call and we'll be glad to inspect it for you. We will give you recommendations on the best course of action.

“For years now we've been calling Burlington Tree Service for anything tree related. They regularly come to trim and reshape our shrubs and hedges, and have helped us with various other matters on several occasions. Jason is always pleasant and polite, and his guys do an exceptional job every time. I also recommended them to my sister when a crazy wind storm sent branches all around her property ” - Amanda S., Milton |
“I would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for a certified arborist. I was suspecting that my ash tree was affected by the ash borer. Their guy came out, inspected the tree and showed me why my suspicion was correct. We scheduled for tree removal. They're fast and efficient. I'm still sad about my tree, though.” - Eric B., Hamilton |
“The very large stump right beside my shed always bothered me and it was an eye sore. I was in need of a company who would remove this large stump but not damage my shed in the process. The guys at Burlington Tree Service were very patient and careful and got the job done. Would highly recommend” - Faizal K., Mississauga |
