In Norse Viking mythology, ash was referred to\nas the &#8216;Tree of Life&#8217;. Even today it is sometimes known as the &#8216;Venus of the\nwoods&#8217;. In Britain they regard ash as a healing tree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But\nin the recent times, this tree is under the threat of the emerald ash borer\n(EAB) beetle attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More\nthan 60 million ash&nbsp;trees, ranging from one inch to five feet in\ndiameter,&nbsp;have been killed by EAB in the southeast Michigan area alone and\ntens of millions throughout other states and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once\nEAB populations begin to build, nearly&nbsp;all ash trees in the forest, swamp\nor urban area are&nbsp;likely to become infested and die \u2014 often within\na&nbsp;time span of only a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nEAB larvae bore into the ash tree and feed under the bark, leaving tracks\nvisible underneath. The feeding disrupts the tree\u2019s ability to transport water\nand nutrients, resulting in dieback and bark splitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent\nnews reported were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ash\nBorer Threat To Continue In Manitoba Despite The Cold<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by&nbsp;Connor\nGerbrandt \u2502 February 28<sup>th<\/sup> 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\nlooks like emerald ash borers will continue to be a problem in Manitoba,\ndespite the extremely cold weather we had in Southern Manitoba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people were hoping the twin polar vortexes that brought nearly a month of frigid weather would drive the invasive species extinct within the province.
