MAQUOKETA HAS 760 TREES ON CITY PROPERTY AND 45 DIFFERENT SPECIES ACCORDING TO AN INVENTORY REPORT GIVEN TO THE CITY COUNCIL. THE 10 MOST COMMON INCLUDE MAPLES AT 49% AND
ASH AT 13 PERCENT. ASH TREES ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE EMERAL ASH
BORER AND THERE IS NO STOPPING THE ASH BORER AND SO THEREFORE CITIES NEED TO BE PREPARED. TREES ON PRIVATE PROPERTY WERE
NOT INVENTORIED. THE REPORT SAYS THE CITY NEEDS TO REMOVE 43 ASH TREES THAT ARE A POTENTIAL HAZARD AND ARE LARGE TREES IN
POOR CONDITION. OF THE 102 ASH TREES ON CITY PROPERTY, 11 SHOW
SYMPTONS OF THE EMERALD ASH BORER.
SORRY FOR THE SHORT REPORT. JUST A COUPLE DAYS AWAY.....
