The City of Oakwood and the city’s tree contractor are now treating ash trees in the parks, boulevards and trees between the sidewalk and curb and in the city rights of ways for Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Research and experience has shown that insecticides are capable of protecting ash trees when initiated in the earliest stages before visible symptoms are present or trees are infested. The city has been monitoring the ash trees in the city rights of way and public spaces since the introduction of the emerald ash borer and has not had any confirmed infestations.
The city continues to monitor these trees on a regular basis. In 2007, 102 trees were treated with an insecticide called Imicide. In 2008, the ash trees between the sidewalk and curb and in the right of ways were treated at no expense to the homeowner. The city is again treating the trees in 2009. The value of the 793 ash trees in the rights of way and public areas is well over $1.65 million dollars so it is important to try to protect, prevent, maintain and prolong the life of these valuable assets to our community. Although there is no guarantee this insecticide is 100 percent effective, the city believes every effort should be made to try and protect these valuable trees. Trees two inches in diameter or smaller will not be treated due to their immaturity and size.
In addition to those trees in the right of ways, ash trees on private property are also very important to continue to keep Oakwood green and vital. Residents interested in treating their ash trees on private property may now do so through the City of Oakwood’s tree contractor, American Forestry Service. The process includes measuring the diameter of the tree and injecting the tree with an insecticide every 6” in diameter at the base of the tree. The cost depends on the number of vials used and the charge to the resident would be the same cost per vial and what the city of Oakwood is charged, $ 9 per vial. Any resident interested in having their ash trees treated on private property should contact the Oakwood Community Center at 298-0775 and give their name, address and telephone number. A representative from American Forestry will then contact the resident and make arrangements for service. Treatment for EAB is suggested from May through September when the EAB has the potential of being visible.
If you have any further questions, please contact Carol Collins and/or Brian Caldwell at the Oakwood Community Center at 298-0775. |
