EAB Resources and External Links

Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a destructive pest that wreaks havoc on ash trees. Native to China and Mongolia, this invasive species has spread across the United States, decimating ash tree populations in its wake1.

The EAB kills ash trees by consuming the tissues beneath the bark. Since its first detection in Detroit, Michigan, in 2002, it has destroyed tens of millions of true ash species across more than 25 states.

Unfortunately, all species of North American ash are susceptible to EAB attacks. Once an ash tree comes under attack, its chances of survival are slim. The EAB is so destructive that it has put eight billion North American ash trees at risk.

The Emerald Ash Borer Information Network is a valuable resource for information on EAB. Similarly, the Arbor Day Foundation provides comprehensive information on the EAB, including its origin, spread, and impact.

Understanding the signs and symptoms of EAB infestation, as outlined by Wisconsin DNR, and differentiating common wood borers of ash trees, as explained by Rutgers University, can help in early detection and management.

While EAB is the most infamous, other wood-boring insects also affect ash trees. For example, the lilac/ash borer is a native insect to North America and a common wood borer found in ash throughout Colorado.

In conclusion, the Emerald Ash Borer is a significant threat to ash trees in the United States. Early detection and swift action are crucial to managing this invasive pest and preserving our precious ash trees.

I had them remove a large dying spruce situated between my house and my neighbors and prune a crab apple tree close to my house.The cost was competitive . Shortly after I signed the contract I came home from work and the tree was gone and the crab apple pruned. The debris was completely removed. I was very satisfied and would use them again.

We had a good experience with the Urban Tree team. The came a made quick, professional work of a group of mulberry trees that were becoming a nuisance. Really impressive work and they did a great job cleaning up as well at the end of the job. I would recommend Urban Tree to anyone considering having tree work done!

We had an enormous silver maple removed via crane assist and then the stump ground down roots cut. The street was marked off ahead of time, so my neighbors knew where not to park. Gabe worked with us to find a week that worked for our schedule and theirs. I got phone calls the day before to remind me about the tree removal and then again the day before the stump grinding to alert me that they'd be out.On the day of the removal, the Urban Tree team was incredible to watch! The ease and artistry with which they took out our tree was amazing. The team is professional, efficient, helpful and took the time to answer my questions and make me feel comfortable. They work very seamlessly together—their knowledge and experience comes across very clearly as you see them work.They removed the tree one day and came back another day to grind the stump, which seems to be typical. Both days they cleaned up the yard and street not only at the end of the work, but along the way. They took care to leave things looking as nice possible.I would highly recommend Gabe and his crew to take care of tree removal projects you have.
