Well, I've been trying to tell my husband that this was coming but it's even sooner than was expected. A tree was discovered in St. Paul last week to have been infected for around 3 to 5 years. My street will be devastated as almost every yard has ash in front. Apparently there is a treatment that will cost $100.00 a year but I don't know how toxic this is to other insect life. Me, I want to get another tree to take over if and when ours gets infected. We have the nicest looking one on the block. :~(

Minnesota has an estimated 900 million ash trees.
