    Looks like the same weather we been having lately here in N.E. Iowa. Warm and fog. This too will change. EAB made it's way to my neck of the woods this year also. I treated a bunch of ash for home owners this spring but I don't have much confidence it will do any good in the long run.

    Welcome to the crowd Don. Today I cut 3 ash trees. We've had the borer since 2002 and all our trees have been dead for quite some time. Most of them now are rotting at the root and then tipping over. Hard to keep up with them but we're trying.
