SAVE YOUR ASH TREES!
Cedarburg is within the zone recommended for
treatment by the State Dept. of Agriculture. The
City Forester recommends treating your Ash Trees
with imidacloprid.
- Homeowners can purchase Bayer Advanced Tree &
Shrub at local garden centers. Follow label
instructions.
- Or hire an ISA Certified Arborist. A list of
Arborists in our area can be found at
www.treesaregood.org click on "Find a Tree Care
Service".
Smaller trees (less
than 12" in diameter) can be treated with a soil
application such as Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub or a
soil injection of Imidacloprid by a certified
Arborist.
Larger trees (12" +
in diameter) should be treated using a trunk
injection method.
The City Forester
recommends the Direct - Inject QC Trunk Injection
System manufactured by Arbor Systems, Inc.

This is the method
that has been proven successful in saving Ash Trees
in Michigan.
Further information

Trees in urban areas provide a number of important environmental and
economic benefits. They help to clean the air, curb stormwater runoff,
raise property values, sequester carbon, and reduce energy costs.
The Tree Benefit Calculator (used to calculate Cedarburg's Ash Tree
Benefits) is based on the STRATUM (Street Tree Mgt. Tool for Urban
Forest Managers) model. STRATUM was developed by researchers at the USDA
Forest Service, Center for Urban Forest Research to quantify the
structure, function & value of a city’s street trees.
Annual Economic Benefit of Cedarburg’s Street Ash Trees = $155,386
Annual Cost To Chemically Treat Cedarburg’s Street Ash Trees = $70,000
