Host Trees
Attacks all native ash trees Black, green, and white are
native to MN Some preliminary evidence
that blue ash may show some resistance
Manchurian ash shows resistance (not N.A. sp.)
Hybrid crosses not resistant (so far)
Mountain ash (not a true ash) is not attacked

EAB Infestations in MN
I-90 – Nodine Exit, Winona County
EAB present 5-6 years?
5-10% of ash in area were dead
Most of rest had noticeable decline
Minnesota First Detectors
EAB Infestations in MN
Nodine Exit trees > 100 larval galleries /
square meter of bark

EAB Infestations in MN
Nodine Exit trees Woodpeckers could
barely fly anymore
Minnesota First Detectors
EAB Infestations in MN
St Paul 1 – found 2009
EAB present 3-4 years
No dead trees Canopy
thinning on ~50 trees
Minnesota First Detectors
EAB Infestations in MN
St Paul 1 – found 2009 Woodpecking apparent on
declining trees and trees without decline
Minnesota First Detectors
EAB Infestations in MN
Woodpecking a better indicator of EAB than decline
EAB Negative
EAB Positive

EAB Infestations in MN
St Paul 2 – Summit / Dale Area
~4 years old when found Decline, woodpecking,
bark cracks on < 10 trees
Minnesota First Detectors
EAB Infestations in MN
Shoreview ~3 years old when found Decline in one tree
initially – no woodpecking seen in July

EAB Infestations in MN
Shoreview ~3 years old when found Decline in one tree
initially – heavy woodpecking by November – also showing up on other trees in area

EAB Quarantine
No Regulated Articles are legally allowed to move outside of a quarantine (untreated or treated), unless they are accompanied by a certificate. Certificates are only available when a compliance agreement is signed between the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and the firm interested in moving the regulated article.
