Emerald Ash Borer
This metallic wood boring beetle was found in Detroit, Michigan and Ontario, Canada in 2002, and has continued to spread into neighboring states and eventually across the U.S. and Canada.
Fire Blight
Fire blight is the most damaging bacterial disease that affects shrubs and trees in the Rosaceous family during warm spring weather combined with rains or heavy dews.
European Elm Scale
Scale insects are common insect pests on ornamental trees and shrubs in landscapes. They feed, with their tube-like mouthparts, within the vascular system, where nutrients and fluids are transported.
Characteristics of soft scales generally include 1) one generation per year; 2) honeydew production; 3) convex in shape or resemble a helmet; 4) high crawler activity; and 5) a protective body wall.

WHERE TO BUY
"I’ve been injecting a 70“ ash tree on the campus of Miami University since 2014. It has typically taken three long mornings to coax the needed volume of TREE-äge® into this tree. Using R10 for the first time, the entire treatment for 2020 was completed in 2.5 hours, in mid-August! R10 is revolutionary for my business - reading about R10 is one thing, an experience such as this quite another. I’ve instantly become a convert.”
