Emerald ash borerRemoval of a healthy ash tree is sometimes permitted provided that it is done during a specific time of year and another tree is planted in its place. The cost is up to half of the cost of removing an ash tree that has the disease. The profit made by disposing of a healthy ash tree can contribute to the purchase of a new replacement specimen.

It is through pallets, crates, firewood of ash species that the beetle spreads. And it is because it attacks this particular species of tree that this is part of its designation. The insect proceeds by burrowing into the wood pulp as a larva or by nibbling on the leaves as a flier. The absence of predators on the North American territory explains the immense challenge of eradicating the beetle but also of preserving the life of the tree concerned. The body of this beetle is half an inch long and has shimmering blue-green reflections.
