It was indentified in trees in Boulder in the fall of <br />2013. <br />Colorado has many ash in the urban forest (we estimate <br />about 15% of trees are ash). Ash trees are popular in Colorado <br />with an estimated 98,000 in the City of Boulder alone and an <br />estimated 1.45 million in the Denver Metro area. <br />Agencies and communities continue to monitor for the <br />spread of the insect. At this point, no detections have been <br />confirmed outside Boulder. <br />WHAT COLORADANS NEED TO KNOW <br />• Know how to identify ash trees and signs of EAB <br />infestation in ash trees: <br />• Thinning of leaves and upper branches and twigs <br />• Serpentine tunnels produced by larvae under the <br />bark <br />• D- shaped exit holes 1/8 -inch wide <br />o New sprouts on the lower trunk or lower branches <br />o Vertical splits in the bark <br />o Increased woodpecker activity <br />• Don't apply unnecessary chemical treatments and talk <br />to a professional forester or arborist before applying any <br />treatment. Chemical treatments are not recommended <br />more than 5 miles from a positive detection. <br />• Never transport firewood or other products from ash <br />trees, as this is the most likely method of accidental <br />spread. A quarantine is now in place in Boulder County <br />and surrounding areas to try and prevent the human - <br />assisted spread of EAB. <br />For current information about EAB in Colorado, including <br />the current quarantine in Boulder County and surround- <br />ing areas, go to www.eabcolorado.com. If you think you have <br />EAB in your ash trees, please contact the Colorado Depart- <br />ment of Agriculture at 888- 248 -5535 or CAPS.program@ <br />state.co.us. <br />Winter 2014 <br />Cityof <br />Louisville <br />Parks & Recreation <br />
