Emerald Ash Borer 101 for Property Owners
Local Businessman
Shares Information
Valerie Gillies
Editor/Lucknow Sentinel
John MacIntosh, owner of Enviro-
Mastsers Lawn Care in Ripley, is a local
professional trained to treat for the
emerald ash borer. With the recent
identification of this infection in the
area, MacIntosh is passing on some of
his knowledge to help answer ques-
tions of property owners who may be
concerned.
The first question many owners have
is whether or not they have an ash tree
on their property. MacIntosh advises
that if you have a hardwood tree that is
not one of the most common to the
area including maple, birch, beach or
walnut then it is likely an ash tree. There
are other species in the area, but they
are not in the majority. Ash trees are
easy to identify by their leaves and the
very rough bark. They are known as
"soldiers on guard" as they generally
stand straight and tall. It is natural for
the bottom branches to die off as the
tree gets taller.
