As I type this we have 10 infected ash trees on our block between 6 houses. all on the city parkway. there are 7 more on the next block! they are marked to be removed and I won`t be using any wood as firewood, not even in my backyard. and no one around here has an ash tree on their property at all. for some reason only the villages purchase the Ash trees. I`m guessing because they were cheap. Now we just need to decide what type of tree to plant in place of them! I personally never liked the look of an Ash tree, not that they should all die, but I will not miss them!
