Emerald Ash Borer
With the spread of Emerald Ash Borer we will see Ash trees in our area continue to be devastated. This is a real issue based on how a tree's health decays once they get EAB. How can it be identified?
1.Canopy dieback and thinning
One of the most common symptoms of EAB infestation in ash trees is canopy dieback and thinning. EAB larvae feed on the inner bark of the tree, disrupting the tree’s ability to transport water and nutrients throughout its branches. As a result, the tree’s canopy begins to thin and eventually dies back.
2. D-shaped exit holes
Emerald Ash Borer larvae tunnel through the bark of ash trees and create a distinctive D-shaped exit hole when they emerge as adults. These exit holes are small, approximately 1/8 inch in diameter, and can often be found in the bark of the main trunk or branches of the tree.
3. S-shaped galleries under the bark
EAB larvae create S-shaped galleries under the bark of ash trees as they feed on the tree’s cambium layer. These galleries can be seen by carefully peeling back the bark of the tree with a knife or chisel.
4. Bark splitting
Bark splitting is another common symptom of EAB infestation in ash trees. This happens when the tree is under stress from the EAB larvae feeding on the inner bark and disrupts the flow of water and nutrients. As a result, the bark may split or crack, exposing the wood underneath.
5. Increased woodpecker activity
EAB larvae are a source of food for woodpeckers, so increased woodpecker activity on an ash tree can be a sign of infestation. Woodpeckers will often strip the bark off the tree to get at the larvae underneath, leaving distinctive patches of bare wood.
6. Bark blonding
Bark blonding occurs when woodpeckers remove the outer bark of a tree to get at the EAB larvae inside. This results in a lighter, bleached appearance on the bark that can be seen from a distance.
7. Epicormic shoot growth
Epicormic shoots are new shoots that grow from dormant buds on the trunk or branches of a tree. EAB infestation can cause stress to the tree, leading to increased epicormic shoot growth as the tree tries to compensate for the loss of leaves in the canopy.
