I live in a subdivision in Macomb County with 2 ash trees on my lot. They're dying all around me. Last year, wife put an "expensive" bug killer on our 2 trees. We thought it was working. Went out yesterday and bought some for this year. (Cost: $50 to treat a 12" & 14" tree). Took a close look at the trees last night and they are definitely worse this year. Going to return the pesticide and get the chainsaw out. I've got Ash dying on my property up near Port Huron, but luckily I've got a decent mix of pine/oak/other to keep the EAB from decimating my woods. The question becomes: What do you replace them with? When we moved into the sub 20 years ago, Ash was the tree of choice as it grows fairly quickly and is a good shade tree. This was beneficial for subs that were carved out of farmland. Consequently, thousands of them were planted. We planted a gingkoa (sp?) tree several years ago near the big ash in the backyard, anticipating we'd lose it. It's a lot slower growing though. Thankfully, I've got a locust, bradford pear, a number of pines (Norway, Blue Spruce, Austrian) also on my lot, so I won't look like a Mideast desert after the EAB goes through.
