My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ash borer???????

19 years ago

We have a ash tree that is about 3 years old and appears healthy. Now I am getting paranoid because I am reading the forum about borers being a major problem. Can someone tell me how much of a problem are they in the St Louis area. Is there any preventive measure I should take. This tree is vital for shade.

Thanks,

Vic
