Larry:

HI I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH. WELCOME TO TREE TALK. THE EMERALD ASH BORER UPDATE, THE QUARANTINE ZONE IS ACTUALLY ON THE NORTHERN PART OF HANCOCK COUNTY, MCDONOUGH COUNTY AND THE EASTERN SIDE OF CHICAGO COUNTIES. THERE’S STILL ONLY SIXTY ONE OF THE ONE HUNDRED TWO COUNTIES THAT HAVE CONFIRMED EAB AND IT’S AND IT’S A QUARANTINE AREA. IT HASN’T BEEN SPOTTED IN OUR COUNTY YET. OBVIOUSLY IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT GETS TO OUR AREA. NOBODY CAN REALLY SAY FOR SURE WHEN IT’S GOING TO BE HERE, BUT IT IS GOING TO GET HERE. WHAT I TELL PEOPLE IS, IT’S A LOT BETTER TO BE PREPARED FOR THE EMERALD ASH BORER THAN NOT TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL. AND THE OTHER THING I’D LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, TELL EVERYBODY IS THAT AT BRUMBAUGH TREE SERVICE, WE — USE A NEEDLE. WE DON’T DRILL HOLES IN YOUR TREES. IT’S NOT THE BEST OF HEALTH FOR YOUR TREE TO BE DRILLING HOLES IN YOUR TREE REPEATEDLY BECA– USE THIS PROCESS TAKES SEVERAL YEARS TO HAVE TREE INJECTIONS DONE AND EVERY TIME THAT YOU WOUND A TREE, IT TAKES EXTRA ENERGY FROM THE TREE TO HAVE TO HEAL THAT WOUND SPOT. SO I’D RECOMMEND USING A NEEDLE OVER THE DRILL METHOD BUT EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN CHOICE, YOU KNOW. THAT’S IT FOR THIS WEEK’S EDITION OF TREE TALK. UNTIL NEXT TIME, I’M LARRY BRUMBAUGH. THANKS FOR LISTENING.
