I will have a Green Ash that is very close to my house treated, probably in the next week or so. I have a contract but have not yet heard when they will be here to do the work.
They are charging $200 for a 20" tree and recommend treatment every two years. They charge by the inch.
When I had the guy out to look at the job, I showed him several small holes that I through probably was from an Ash Bore but that turns out not to be so. He said that evidence of the Bore would be dying branches and limbs high up in the tree.
If we can protect the tree for a few years, I'll be pleased.
