Clarence,
New York – June 24, 2009 – The Tree Doctor, a full-service
tree company, with offices in Clarence and West Falls, New York,
has been following the spread of Emerald Ash Borer for the last
five years throughout the Midwest and Eastern United States. This
Asian beetle infests and kills North American ash species (Fraxinus
sp.) including green, white, black and blue ash. Thus, all native
ash trees are susceptible. Signs of infection include tree canopy
dieback, yellowing, and browning of leaves. Most trees die within
2
to 4 years of becoming infested. The Tree Doctor is up-to-date
on the latest scientific information about this pest and warns
that there is a lot of misinformation out there. Up to 14% of
all trees in Western New York are ash trees. Owners of ash trees
should take action now to protect their trees.
The Tree Doctor is fully licensed to preventatively treat ash
trees before and after infestations occur. Its staff of 20 trained
arborists, of which 10 are internationally certified, is currently
providing information and treatments to many homeowners, golf
courses, and commercial properties interested in protecting their
ash trees. More information about Emerald Ash Borers, including
how to identify the damage they cause, and what treatments are
available, can be found at www.EABcure.com.
