At some point I figure it will be like roundup resistant weeds - ash trees will change enough that the borer doesn't affect them as badly. I am replacing trees in the barnyard like crazy hoping that they get established in time take over the shade duty. There are borers in all of them but I have been able/to keep the infestation to a minimum quite by accident. I had one tree also infected with carpenter/ants. I put Lorsban in a watering can and poured it on the tree trunk. It must have gone systemic as the borers haven't been in that tree in a couple of years. The wood pile is right under that tree and you can hear the wood pile crunching and moving there are so many. Next year I am going to try treating others and see what happens. I've only lost one large ash tree in the yard but there are dozens so it's kind of like waiting for the shoe to drop.
I have several ash trees that are around 10 feet tall. They came up as seedlings and I have left them to see if they will make it. There is a place advertising on the radio here that they have a Fertilome drench for ash borer. Maybe I will get some and try it for the younger trees.

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
