Ash Canopy Replacement Plan

What about private trees? • Do nothing – wait for your Ash to die • Plant a replacement tree & wait for Ash to die • Remove Ash & plant a replacement tree • Treat Ash using recommended strategies

Plan for Your Ash • Determine if Ash is worth treating – Is tree healthy? – How long will you be in your home? – Does tree have sentimental or functional value? – Are removal costs extensive? – Are you committed to ongoing treatment?
