It's my understanding that the ash borer kills young trees as small as 1 inch diameter and well before they reach the age to produce seeds (less than 10 years for most ash species), as well as older trees. It will cost you nothing to transplant your little ash tree, so go for it. However, you should add a mix of other tree varieties to your property to avoid the extreme wipeout that has occurred with chestnuts, elms, now ash. At last count on my property I have 29 species of trees (deciduous and evergreen) and shrubs so that when one splices encounters problems, others will still keep things green. My mix includes many green ash but also mountain ash, soft maple (silver and box elder), hard maple, spruce, cedar, wild cherry, burr oak, linden, hackberry, cottonwood, willow, locust, black walnut, butternut, hickory, Russian olive, catalpa, apple crab apple, sour cherry, mulberry, pear, and I'm sure others that escape me at the moment. Depending on only a handful of species is asking for trouble in the future. So good luck to you with your ash, but be prepared for when you lose it.

I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
