Originally reported as Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis)

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

I had an arborist come out to look at a dying ash tree in my yard and they told me it showed some indications that the ash might be infested with the ash borer and recommended I fill out this report.

Commentary

I visited this site on 5/28/24. No EAB signs present, although the tree is nearly dead with about 15% green canopy. At least one neighboring ash tree also declining AS WELL AS neighboring cedar trees. Could be drought related and/or anthropogenic disturbance over the years via urbanization. Summary: no EAB
