Yeah, the ash borer is taking so many of them in our 35 acres. It's weird how birds can't seem to eat them all before they do so much damage. I have 5-6 in our immediate yard right around the house that have succumbed to it. And we have tons of ash seedlings growing in the field. They would have made a lovely forest. I've tried to warn them, but to no avail.....they keep growing. Maybe something native will kill off the EAB. I sure hope it's soon.
