Where did you obtain your procedure guide?

Very interesting, but how do I get someone to come out and do that to my ash trees? Or did I miss that part? thanks for all the info!

If you live in Virginia, here is the information from the Virginia Department of Forestry: dof.virginia.gov/document-tags/emerald-ash-borer/. If you live in a different state, check with your state forestry agency.

Great question, the best course of action for individual tree care like this is with a certified arborist. You can find certified arborists here: www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist

Think that not giving private home owners access to this is Dumb If the government wants this to be slow down, they need to change that

Any treatment for the spurge of Asian Jumping Worms yet that you have heard are promising?

This is one I haven't looked into yet. I plan on writing an article for my Winter newsletter on this species if I can find enough information, so thanks for the idea. The newsletter is available at: forestupdate.frec.vt.edu/newsletter/current.html and will be posted in early January. You can subscribe to the newsletter here: forestupdate.frec.vt.edu/newsletter/signup/index.html.

You measured the circumference, not the diameter.

Great observation! They are using a tool known as a diameter tape. Diameter tapes are specially calibrated to allow us to physically measure circumference of a standing tree - while reading off a value of diameter. The tape makes the conversion of C/π = 2r (diameter) so we don't need to do that extra step in the office. For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diameter_tape
