[AT] firewood

[Phil Vorwerk - Printwear Graphics]

A friend of mine was talking about this while he was at my place this
summer.  I believe that there is a treatment to save individual trees, but
it is spendy, 250 to 300 bucks per tree.  My friend had a very nice ash tree
in his yard that he planned to save.  If anyone is interested, I can ask him
what he knows about it.  Obviously, it isn't something that you would do to
every ash tree on your property....

Gene,  Why cant you poision the bugs ?
Or pour some insecticide around the tree. Like the termite stuff that is 
used in around houses.  They was some stuff, Dursban if you can find it 
anymore. Lindane is a thing of the past. mostly.
Whoa   I dont know how these bugs attact the trees. Do they fly at some 
stage in their life ? In that case it be hard to spray the whole tree on a 
regular schedule.
Might not help, just my idea.
