Emerald Ash Borer

According to the Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA), Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), an invasive insect that destroys ash trees is present in Davidson County. The EAB attacks all species of North American ash trees and unless treated, will kill them all before the year 2026.

2023 UPDATE: We now recommend a 2-year treatment for ALL Ash trees. Delivery method does require small holes to be drilled into the cambium but should heal within one growing season. Alternate annual trunk sprays can be done at an increased cost. Please email [email protected] with any questions.
