Indianola Community Tree Committee

Emerald Ash Borer

	This pest has killed over 20 million ash trees in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.  In 2006, infestations were found in our neighboring state of Illinois.
This devastating insect probably arrived from Asia in wood packing material, and is believed to have spread within the United States in firewood.  Read more about this pest on our Emerald Ash Borer page.

 
The Indianola Community Tree Committee recommends that homeowners begin to prepare now for the changes that may occur if their ash trees become infected and then must be destroyed.

The best practice is to plant a variety of trees on your property.  Click here to see the Recommended Tree List for this area.
