Emerald ash borer survives Winnipeg's extreme winter weather In a recent study, Emerald Ash Borer has been found to survive in temperatures down to -46 C. This contrasts with earlier studies that indicated high mortality at temperatures in the -25 to -30 range. This has significance for Ash trees in Winnipeg and re-inforces the importance of assessing your ash trees to plan a program of treatment to control EAB or determine which Ash trees might be slated for future removal. Unfortunately, based on other areas of North America, EAB will result in the eventual death of all untreated ash trees.
Decay, disease, storm damage and age all harm the trees we cherish. Luckily, there are steps we can take to prolong their lives like pruning, cabling and bracing and training. Jobs like these — and other dangerous jobs like removals and pruning—are best left to the experienced arborists at Parkland Tree Care. We have the necessary tools, equipment and knowledge to safely care for your trees and shrubs.
