Do I need to remove my Ash tree?
The Ash Tree population in Southern Ontario and the U.S. Midwest has been devastated by the presence of the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle. This pest cuts off the water supply to Ash trees and kills them. Ash Trees may look healthy from the outside while being completely hollowed out from the inside and therefore extremely unstable and dangerous. If you have an Ash tree on you property it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of individuals and structures around your property. The City of Toronto is mandating that dangerous Ash Trees be safely removed.
