?EUR??,,????'??You can still see the zigzags in the bark from the ash borer,?EUR??,,????'?? he said. ?EUR??,,????'??But right now, it?EUR??,,????'???s showing some improvement.?EUR??,,????'?? Roughly, 70 to 80 ash trees still stand on public property. Tree professionals administer insecticides to trees in three different ways: by spraying the outside of the trunk, injecting insecticides into the soil and injecting them directly into the tree. Recently, the tree at the Trompeter home got a dose of all three. Source: The Detroit News
