All of your trees will eventually die back. This is different than Dutch Elm Disease. The borer is a very active creature and can move from place to place easily. No such thing as isolation. I have been on a boat in the middle of Grand Traverse Bay and seen an ash borer floating on the water, no doubt hoping to make shore in Wisconsin. I have a 20 acre woodlot with hundreds of dead ash in it. The largest surviving tree is about 6-7" caliper, but it is partially infested as the top is dying. There is SOME hope.

When they get much larger the borer will kill them back, but they will sucker again...eventually the borer is going to lose this battle as the trees will adapt.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
