This is what emerald ash borer looks like from the inside. 🌳

Trent found this ash in a Belleville yard last week. The bark had already fallen off the trunk, and the wood underneath was covered in winding tunnels. Those are the tracks of the larvae. They hatch on the outside of the bark and tunnel in. For about a year they eat the thin living layer that moves water and food up and down the trunk. Once those tunnels wrap the whole trunk, nothing gets past, and the tree starves. Tilt the camera up at the end of the clip and you can see how it finishes. That tree is standing bare in September while everything around it is still green.

Here is what to look for on your own ash, roughly in the order it shows up.

The top thins out first. Dead branches start at the very top of the canopy and work down.

Pale patches appear on the trunk. Woodpeckers strip the outer bark off to get at the larvae underneath, and it leaves the bark looking blonde.

Sprouts push straight out of the trunk and out of the base. That is the tree trying to grow below the damage.

The bark splits. Underneath you find these tunnels, and small D shaped exit holes about an eighth of an inch across.

Timing is the whole thing with ash. Caught early enough, a tree can often be treated and kept. Once it looks like the one in this video, that window has closed, and it needs to come down before the wood turns brittle. A dead ash is one of the more dangerous trees to take apart, and it does not get cheaper or safer the longer it stands.

If you are seeing any of this on a tree in your yard, reach out. We will come look at it and tell you straight whether it can be saved or whether it needs to go.

Adam, Luke and Aaron spent Monday on the Lewis and Clark Community College campus in Godfrey. They took down a sweet gum that stood beside one of the historic stone halls. The trunk was hollow and there were sidewalks running underneath it, so nothing got dropped. A climber worked out of the 92 foot lift and lowered every piece down on ropes. The bare trunk was the only part they let fall. This was just one of the 27 jobs we've done on this campus over the last nine years, and the crew is back Tuesday to finish the list.

From the street this pin oak looked fine. Green leaves, full canopy, shading most of Heather's house in Belleville.

The evidence was all at the bottom. Mushrooms were growing straight out of the trunk, and there was an open hole where the trunk meets the ground. That is what advanced decay looks like from the outside.

Ethan, Nathan and Alex are running it Monday. 90 feet tall, 59 inches through the trunk, with the power line passing right through the canopy. Ameren dropped the service first.

Not every big tree over a house has to come out.

This river birch in Lebanon had grown into the overhead line, across the pergola, and up against the siding. Adam, Nathan and Gavin lifted the lower branches instead of removing the tree. They cleared about four feet above the line and pulled the canopy back off the roof. Then they took out the dead wood underneath. A cherry in the same yard had its diseased limbs cut out the same afternoon.

Getting in was the hard part. A double gate was the only way to the back yard, and the garden is full of hosta beds. The 92-foot lift tracked through, set up on the lawn, and reached the whole tree from one spot.

A week ago a large leader tore out of the top of this 80 foot pin oak in Alton and came down on the pool and the deck below it. We cleared that damage, but our arborist found more broken limbs still hung up in what was left standing, so the rest of the tree had to come out. Today Ethan, Luke and Alex flew the remaining trunk out in sections with the grapple saw while a climber worked the 92 foot lift, lifting every piece up and away from the pool instead of dropping it in the yard.

Four trees and a stump, one day in Edwardsville.

Adam and Ethan brought a sugar maple down in sections with the grapple saw on the boom and a climber working from the spider lift, cut the stump low, and had every piece of debris off the property before they pulled out. The red oak, the pin oak and the second sugar maple stayed right where they were and had deadwood pruned out instead, limbs three inches and larger. Then they ground out an old stump at the street, 28 inches across, six to eight inches below grade and flush with the lawn.

One removal, three prunings, one stump. That is a normal Monday.

A pin oak standing bare in the middle of August is telling you something. That one sat on the corner of the Lincoln school lot in Edwardsville with all of its canopy over the parking area and the sidewalk, so Ethan and Alex took it down Friday morning with the grapple saw, cut the stump low, and had the debris gone the same day. It was one stop on a bigger list: four dead ash off the campus, and deadwood cleared out of the black oaks, pin oaks and maples that are staying. All of it has to be finished before students come back on the 16th.

Eighty feet of pin oak, thirty inches through the trunk, half of it hanging over the house. Here is the whole removal at Ari's place in Wood River in about thirty seconds. Ethan, Alex, Nathan, and Elijah worked it from two sides with the spider lift and the grapple saw, flying every section out over open ground instead of dropping it in the yard.

An 80 foot sweetgum, 40 inches across, in a fenced Collinsville backyard with eight feet of access. Nearly half its canopy hung over the house and the fence line. Adam, Ethan, Nathan, and Elijah took out a fence panel, set up on the open ground beside the property, and lifted the tree out in sections over the top instead of dragging it through the yard. Same visit they raised the canopy on Brandon's big white ash out front and cleared the honeysuckle along the back line.
