What happens here

The video opens with a brief showcase of an excavator operating, preparing for tree removal. The speaker then introduces the main challenge: dealing with approximately 100 dead ash trees on the property, which have been killed by the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). The EAB is described as a green buprestid or jewel beetle native to North-Eastern Asia, whose larvae feed under the bark of ash trees, causing them to die within one to two years. The speaker points out visual evidence of EAB infestation on tree bark, such as holes and missing bark sections, emphasizing that these dead trees pose a significant safety risk as they don't fall predictably like live trees. Therefore, professional removal is crucial.

Goal: Identify Emerald Ash Borer infestation and understand the necessity for professional removal.

[Music] good morning one and all dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead dead that's for all from the emerald ashb taking all these out and then as we look this way almost every tree in there is an ash tree i y got to go conservative estimate 100 trees now let's take a look at this so if you have trees as we look at the bark if you have trees that here's a great example you can see the holes that's from the emerald ashbo that's from the emerald ashbo right there you can see that the missing bark although it's winter time you can still easily identify trees that have uh got the emerald ashbo in and these are just dead you you've got to either treat them or you got to take them down if you're going to take them down have a professional take them down cuz they're dead and a dead tree doesn't drop the same way that alive tree drops so what we're going to be doing
