What does the Emerald Ash Borer look like?
The emerald ash borer is a highly destructive invasive beetle that attacks all species of ash trees and typically kills them in 2 - 3 years. It is a metallic green wood-boring insect of about 1 - 1.5 cm in length.
Signs of an infestation:
- Loss of leaves in the upper crown
- Unusually thin tree crowns
- Branch and leaf growth in the lower part of the stem where growth was not present before
- Long shoots growing from the trunk or branches
- Unusually high woodpecker activity
- Evidence of adult beetle feeding on leaves
- Bark splitting, S-shaped grooves under the bark filled
- Small D-shaped emergence holes
