Emerald Ash Borer – Worst Invasive Tree Pest of this Generation?

Posted by Dr. David Coyle on Fri, Feb, 15, 2019 @ 13:02 PM

Despite bone chilling temperatures this winter, courtesy of the Polar Vortex, you would think that would be enough to wipe out one of the most invasive tree pests, the Emerald Ash Borer, a.k.a, EAB. But you'd be wrong. This single insect has been the demise of millions of North American Ash trees and their destructive reign continues. In this guest post, Dr. Dave Coyle, assistant professor at Clemson University, shares his insights on the EAB and how to deal with it. He was also a guest on the Green Industry Leaders Network podcast, Blurring the Tree Lines, discussing tree stress and pests like EAB, in urban, suburban and forest trees.

Where did EAB Come From?

Who would have thought that a little green beetle – not even an inch long – would cause billions of dollars in damage and lead to the death of millions of trees on this continent?  I mean, sure, it was always a possibility, but we’re currently living though one of the worst invasive species issues in our lifetime.

The emerald ash borer, (EAB for short, Fig. 1) was first discovered in 2002, but probably arrived in the late 1990, near Detroit, MI. It is now present in most of eastern North America (current distribution map) from APHIS.  The larvae or young of this beetle, feed on the phloem of ash trees (genus Fraxinus), and their feeding nearly always results in tree death.  Oh, and not just one type of ash tree – all of them: white, green, blue, pumpkin…if it’s a Fraxinusspecies, it’s susceptible to EAB.

How do I know if my Ash tree has EAB? 

If the tree starts declining, or losing foliage and branches, or has a sudden increase in woodpecker populations, they’re there trying to find and eat the EAB larvae, and often cause “ash blonding” (Fig. 2), your ash tree may have EAB.

It’s important to inspect your tree and look for little D-shaped holes (Fig. 3) – this is where the adults leave the tree once they’re fully developed.

Can I save my tree if it has EAB? 

Well that depends…if most of the crown still looks healthy, then probably.  There are many chemical treatments that work great to both prevent and treat EAB once a tree is infested.  There are biocontrol agents (other bugs that eat EAB), but these won’t usually save an individual tree – they’re good for keeping overall populations in check, and are most often used in natural areas.  It is important to note that in nearly all situations, treating a tree is cheaper than removing and replacing it.  And, trees provide many benefits.  The National Tree Benefit Calculator is a great resource to see the value of a tree.

The EAB Outlook

It’s difficult to determine exactly how many trees EAB has already killed, but the number is easily in the millions.  And, EAB is already present across much of eastern North America.  Will it get out West?  It’s likely...there’s already a population in Colorado.  Remember, by not moving firewood from place to place we can prevent the spread of EAB – this is one of the main ways invasive insects get transported to new places.  Our friends at dontmovefirewood.org have a lot of great resources on this topic.

The recent polar vortex had folks wondering if the cold temperatures might kill all the EAB.  I hate to burst your bubble (but I’m going to burst your bubble…), but the answer is no. Sure, in some places many EAB larvae likely died, but even this recent cold snap isn’t enough to kill all the EAB. Some died, yes – especially in colder areas like the northern U.S. and Canada.  But certainly not all of the EAB died.

What to Know When Selecting the Right Fruit Tree

Posted by Chris Sabbarese on Sat, Oct, 06, 2018 @ 16:10 PM

After chatting with gardeners over the years, one topic they can't get enough of is fruit trees. Whether discussing soil prep, planting, proper care or pruning techniques, many want to know how to get the maximum yield from their fruit trees. We were thrilled to interview a renowned fruit tree expert on Corona’s Green Industry Leaders Network, #Treechat podcast series.

Selecting the right fruit tree variety for your zone is the first step in the process. Nurseries offering disease-resistant varieties, ordering your tree at the right time, and planting it in the right spot at the right time of year, can help ensure a bountiful harvest each season.

Our guest on this #treechat podcast is Susan Poizner. Susan is an urban orchardist, journalist, author of the award-winning Growing Urban Orchards  and the creator of OrchardPeople.com, an online training program for fruit tree care. She is also the host of the Urban Forestry Radio show and podcast. Susan started the Urban Orchard movement in 2010 to inspire, educate and empower gardeners to grow fruit both organically and successfully.

On this episode, we interviewed Susan to learn more about her experiences growing fruit trees and her brilliant training series, Orchard People.

  • What's an urban orchard?
  • How and why did you start Orchard People in 2010?
  • Why is the choice of appropriate varieties so important for success?
  • What to do before you plant? What are “Dwarfing Rootstocks”?
  • What is the best way to water your fruit trees?
  • Why don’t some trees ever fruit?
  • How does specialized fruit tree pruning differ from pruning ornamental plants?
  • When is the best time to prune and how does the time of year affect your fruit trees?

Healthy Trees Start with Healthy Roots

Posted by Chris Sabbarese on Mon, Jun, 29, 2015 @ 17:06 PM

Bartlett-ExposedOakRoots-6-30-2015The root system of a tree performs many vital functions. Roots absorb and transport water and mineral nutrients from the soil to the rest of the tree. Roots anchor the portion of the tree above ground.  In winter, roots are a store-house for essential food reserves needed by the tree to produce spring foliage.

Healthy root systems are vital to the health and longevity of trees. The water, oxygen and nutrients are most readily available near the soil surface where rain infiltrates the soil and oxygen from the atmosphere diffuses into porous soil. The majority of a large tree's roots are in the top 18-24 inches of soil, and when space is available, they can spread two to three times further than the drip line.

Because of this proximity to the soil surface, tree roots are often associated with situations that cause damage to structures, pavements and utiltities. Roots are subjected to run off, chemicals and mechanical injury. It is important to keep the portion below ground healthy to ensure an adequate supply of moisture and nutrients, and for the roots to continue their important functions.
