  • Renewal services for trees and shrubs
    • ]]>     Getting ready for spring means planning your yard work.  If you contract out yard services, don’t let your lawn guys do your trees.  Every year I hear of so many companies spraying for insects or diseases that can’t even be controlled at the time they are spraying.  A lack of knowledge creates a vacuum for money.  However if you use a company that has thorough knowledge of the entire plant, from the roots up, you will find that your dollars actually accomplish your goals of keeping your plants healthy and beautiful year after year.

    • ]]>     The MN Dept. of Ag (MDA) is the agency in Minnesota responsible for getting information out on EAB and making regulations to control its spread.  The webpage that would be most helpful to reference is  http://www.mda.state.mn.us/plants/pestmanagement/eab.htm.  The MDA trains “first responders” to recognize the signs and symptoms of EAB and to accurately identify the borer.  Nate Runke, Plant Health Specialist at Maier Forest and Tree, is a MDA first responder.  If you live in the Rochester, MN area and you suspect EAB in your ash tree, please call our office (507-286-8733) and we will help you.

  • Emerald Ash Borer found in Iowa along banks of the Mississippi River in Allamakee County
    • ]]>     I have heard some customers ask if they should be treating their ash trees yet for EAB.  The multi-state publication put out by universities from Ohio to Minnesota says that one should wait until the insect has been found within 10 to 15 miles.  I fully agree with that.  We should be saving our money for when the insect is here and doing damage.
