Description of specimen

I have three ash trees that I believe may have the ash borer. The tops of my trees are dead.

Commentary

Hello, thank you for your report. Without a picture of the tree and/or a picture of the "D-shaped" exit holes or the actual insect itself, a determination cannot be made. Our limited staff is responding to dozens of reports in the valley. Here is all of the info on EAB in Oregon: www.OregonEAB.com
