The Growing Threat of Invasive Pests.
The need for Plant Health Care is becoming more important with each year. New invasive insects and fungal diseases inadvertently brought over from Europe and Asia are threatening our trees, lakes, and waterways...
To date, these invasive pests have killed millions of valuable trees in the United States. One such invasive pest, chestnut blight, has killed more than 3 billion American chestnut trees in the eastern United States since 1900.
Now, our ash trees are being threatened by an insect from mainland China. Emerald ash borer (EAB) has been confirmed in the Twin Cities and southeastern Minnesota. Initially discovered in Michigan in 2002, EAB has either killed or forced the removal of millions of ash trees in the Midwest.
EAB is expected to continue spreading throughout Minnesota and the upper Midwest. It is essential to know that preventative treatments are available and highly effective for the emerald ash borer and Dutch elm disease, as well as for many other problems that affect our valued trees and shrubs. From preventive treatments and the removal of dead and dying trees to replanting, Shadywood Tree Experts is uniquely positioned to offer all possible options for your tree care needs.
Once the eastern United States' primary source of lumber, the American chestnut is now a minor tree of no commercial significance.
Dutch elm disease is another invasive tree disease. American elms once lined almost every street in the Midwest and Eastern United States. The arrival of Dutch elm disease in 1928 killed many of these trees and forced cities to replant with other varieties, with the most common replacement being green ash.
