Asked July 06, 2024, 8:35 PM EDT

Is there something I can do to protect my young red ash tree? The trunk is about 1 1/2 inches. Others ash tress in our neighborhood have the Emerald Ash bore.

Hope this gives you some information. You may consider planting another species of tree this fall in the advent that your tree succumbs (it's highly likely).

Thanks for your question,
