In my neighborhood, there have been multiple types of trees planted. Unfortunately there was heavy use of Ash trees due to the pleasing shape and shade they offer. So some of the street trees won’t be affected but when they get around to replacing the Ash trees, we’ll have tiny saplings next to 15-yr old trees.

Hindsight is always 20-20. Who knew a tiny bug could be so destructive without any option for control.

Most neighborhoods have only one or two species planted in the entire neighborhood – causing diseases or infestations like this one to completely devastate entire streets/neighborhoods. If they had selected 4 other species instead of just one, only 1/4 of the trees would need to be removed and replaced – lessen the visual and financial impacts.

Here we can report it to the local city Parks & Rec Dept. You might also contact the State Dept of Natural Resources. They have a procedure for proper disposal so the eggs and larvae are contained.

We are just wondering if their is somewhere we need to report this.
