Message: [QUOTE="Bigboote, post: 3993287, member: 7631"] I try to nip all the ash when they’re babies. The County took down all the ash on public land about three years ago. Before that, the running trails were teeming with the (admittedly beautiful) ash borers. The year after the trails were just about free of the beetles, but they’re coming back. Our trees are about half oak and half tuliptree. The ones we’ve lost are mostly from around 1890. I wonder whether there was a fire around then, or maybe the land was farm before that? [/QUOTE]
