The ash trees are being cut when the show signs of
infestation of the ash borer. Ash borer in particular the Emerald Ash Borer
(EAB) is a tiny bug but can really do a great damage to the tree. When the tree
is infested with the ash borer, they lay their eggs in the bark of tree, when
the eggs hatch the lavas would start eating on the inner tissues of the tree
blocking the flow of nutrients and water in the tree that causes the tree’s to
death. If the tree is infested they cut
it down, burn and bury the wood to stop the spread of infestation. Ash trees
are valued for its strength and elasticity that is often used to make baseball
bats, bows, tool handles and other products that needs durable wood.
