Minnesota's persistent drought hits hard, affecting the entire state. Help your trees! Water them weekly if rain is scarce. New trees need 15-25 gallons weekly. Watch for signs of stress! 🌧️💦🌳 mndnr.gov/tree-care.

Is Emerald Ash Borer on the Rebound in Ohio?
"Over the past few years, EAB has experienced a reversal of fortune. This became evident last year with multi-stemmed ash in the southwest part of the state beginning to show loss of some stems from EAB. "
