Fire wood
Going for the record. Bugs are killing all the ash. I'm cutting the dead and almost dead first. Its literally in my backyard. I haven't began to touch it. This pile will last probably almost 3 years.,

Yes a big problem here on the east coast. I actually work at a building, NJ Agricultural, where they raise beneficial insects to attack harmful plant pests. It is important that the wood stays put and is not transported as this helps spread the insects to other locations. That is a nice pile of wood! Its the Emerald Ash Borer that is doing this.

Here is a local papers article on the "Watch your Ash" problem.

We have the stink bugs here in Indiana. Last year they were worse than this year. I don't know how they get in the house but they find a way. We also have the ash borer, lots of trees have been taken by them. I think there is some kind of preventative now or slightly effective treatment??? I don't have any ash trees so I have not checked into it much.

Half the trees in the woods behind my house are ash. It's very wet so most trees don't grow to tall. Because its s o wet the root don't go deep the wind blows the over as soon as they get high enough. Or they rout off. The ash are probably about 90%of the bigger trees. They seem to do better in the wet. I think it about 100% as far as being effected buy the borer. Doesn't look like they'll be any ash in a few years. Se Also Have Lady dugs. And more and more ticks.

the first time i went to Cali..i expected to see the great out doors...we went into the mountains to go trout fishing in a huge man made lake and it was terrible..they had some kind of tree blight and it looked like a nuclear blast went thru..everything was dead till we got to high elevation...was really weird

Here in East Cupcake (Long Island, NY) the long horn is decimating all the trees. In the Adirondack (North East, NY) mountains something is decimating the pines. Pine makes decent camp fire wood but thats about it. Planted a couple of Oaks with hope they will survive when the pines are gone. Might be to acidic for them though. The squirrels hide thousands of acorns all over my lawn so they grow like weeds. I try to dig them out when they are small and transplant them. On the flip side I could just leave them there for 30 years and cut them down for fire wood, but I'm thinking I might not be as energetic in my late 70's.
Oldsmaniac, have they come up with a counter plan for the long horn yet? BTW my wife wants to know if that's a 442, I've got her hooked & she likes the imoggie on the front (sorry barley know the word so I defiantly can't spell it).
