The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive beetle from Asia. It was first discovered in the United States during the summer of 2002 near Detroit, Michigan. EAB has quickly become one of the most destructive and costly forest insects in urban forest history. EAB larvae feed on the inner bark of ash trees which disrupts the trees ability to transport water and nutri- ents. Once an ash tree is infested, it has almost zero chance of survival. The only way to protect yourtree is with treatment. EAB populations can grow exponentially each year because the beetle has few natural predators and our ash trees have limited natural defenses. When EAB is not managed, annual ash tree deaths can quickly over- whelm the resources required to remove dead and dying trees. healthy larvaeL-n the grown thousands of new ring beetles emerge A healthy ash tree will transport water through the current year's growth ring. The larvae of the beetles eat the growth rings under the bark. A heavily infested tree can no longer transport water and the top dies_ The beetles will move on to the next ash tree. Is EAB in My City? EAB was confirmed in Mounds View, Spring of 2018! Like most Minnesota cities, Mounds View has an abundance of ash trees growing on public and private property. A 2010 DNR survey found more than 5,400 ash trees in Mounds View. It is estimated that over 30 percent of trees in the Twin Cities area are ash trees. Rainbow Treecare What are My Choices if I have an Ash Tree? If you have an ash tree, now is the time to decide what to do. Ash trees can be protected or removed. Mounds View is encouraging residents to treat large, well -placed, healthy private ash trees as part of an EAB treatment program. Considerations for Treatment: • Tree size greater than 10" in diameter. • Tree is not competing with other trees or infrastructure. • Tree shows no more than 30% of canopy decline if infestation is suspected. Treating an ash tree is more cost effective than removal and replacement, plus maintains the tree benefits and value of a mature tree to your property! Treatment LOW CDC - BIG Gain! VS - Removal HIGH Cost 'L B 10 Loss! Protecting your ash tree for 20 years is less than the average cost to remove and replace it. EAB larvae damage on ash tree.

Trees facing staggered removal would be those that had poor growth form, were of smaller size, those with other health or structural concerns, and those with targets that would make them potentially hazardous in the future. Trees that were selected for injections had, in general, good growth form, expansive canopies that would provide lots of shade where people congregate, or those trees whose removal would create excessive detrimental visual impact to parks that are heavily trafficked. The ash trees that we remove will be matched with replanted trees. These new trees will be selected in a manner that increases the overall diversity of tree species in the urban forest. This increase in diversity will also increase the city's resiliency with respect to future tree pests and diseases. As we add species to our urban forest, we are limiting the destructive potential of any one pest or disease, such as Dutch elm, oak wilt, or EAB. Trees targeted for staggered removal: • Small size • Poor growth form • Damage and decay, root problems • Targets present (property damage hazards beneath them) • Thin canopy • Trees within diverse stands, many trees nearby • Presence of EAB Trees targeted for pesticide injections: • Large size • Good growth form m Utility (provides shade, absorption of storm water) • High visual presence • No/limited physical defects, damage, or decay • Trees isolated in landscapes Don Peterson Public Works Director
