There are several insects, diseases and environmental conditions that can cause ash tree mortality. Some of the signs of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation include tree limb dieback followed by re-sprouting from the larger branches and trunk, small distinctly “D” shaped holes in the bark, woodpecker feeding activity and “S” shaped feeding galleries under the bark. Check to see if you notice some of these conditions before assuming it is EAB. Information for EAB in Indiana is available on the Emerald Ash Borer, Purdue Extension-Entomology website. If, after checking the tree symptoms, you believe you have Emerald Ash Borer, call 1-866-NO-EXOTIC (1-866-663-9684).
