Another crop of Hamilton ash trees must be removed due to the continuing Emerald Ash Borer infestation.<\/p>\n
Emerald Ash Borers were first discovered in North America in 2002. It’s thought that these pesky insects, native to Asia, made their way to Canada through untreated wooden material.<\/p>\n
For over eight years, Emerald Ash Borers have been wreaking havoc on Hamilton\u2019s ash trees. The insects burrow inside each tree\u2019s vascular system to lay their larvae. The larvae, in turn, receive all of the water, nutrients and sugar that would’ve been processed throughout the tree. Once an ash tree is infested, its mortality is nearly 100%.<\/p>\n
