We have 2 ash trees that were put in when our house was built about 9 years ago. They look nice and are perfectly healthy so I hate to pull them out, but EAB has been confirmed within about 100 miles of me so im guessing it will become an issue in the next few years. ive read mixed things about removing vs treating. also, I wasn't really clear on if it is expected that you would likely have to treat annually for the lives of the trees, or if they tend to go away after a few years when untreated trees die out and then you don't have to treat any more unless the infestation comes back. just wanting thoughts/opnions from people already dealing with it
