2 EAB Module 3
3 Emerald Ash Borer: Module Objectives The purpose of this module is to introduce basic knowledge needed to identify an exotic, invasive tree pest called emerald ash borer (EAB). Upon completing this module, you should be able to: Identify EAB larvae and adults Identify native ash species that are hosts of EAB Recognize signs of EAB infestation Recognize symptoms of EAB infestation Kent Loeffler, Cornell University
4 Emerald Ash Borer: Adult EAB Adults are metallic green in color with bronze undertones EAB adults are about 1/2 long and 1/6 wide, approximately the size of a tic-tac candy EAB adults feed on ash leaves from late May to mid August. After EAB adults emerge from the tree from late May to mid August they mate and then the female will feed on ash leaves for one to two weeks to mature her ovaries prior to egg laying. Kent Loeffler, Cornell University
5 Mark Whitmore, Cornell University Emerald Ash Borer: Larval EAB Larvae are flat headed and have body segments resembling nested bells Larvae can be found by stripping the bark from infested branches and trunks Larvae create S-shaped galleries as they feed on the cambium that fill with frass (sawdust-like excrement)
6 Mark Whitmore, Cornell University Emerald Ash Borer: Larval EAB Larvae feed during warm months and then overwinter as prepupae under ash tree bark or just under the surface of the wood. EAB overwinters as a prepupa in the outer layers of the wood or in the outer bark when it is thick. The prepupa changes into a pupa in late spring, then into an adult which emerges in late May when temperatures get warm. Adult emergence has been found to start at around 400 Growing Degree Days (GDD) base 50 or about when black locust is in flower.

8 Emerald Ash Borer: EAB Look-Alikes Several borers native to North America are closely related to EAB. Two that are also pests of native trees are: 1. Bronze birch borer (Agrilus anxius) 2. Two-lined chestnut borer (Agrilus bilineatus) 1 2 They are similar in size and shape to EAB, but are colored differently and attack different tree hosts. Kent Loeffler, Cornell University
9 Emerald Ash Borer: EAB Look-Alikes Other insects that resemble EAB include: Clockwise from top left: (1) EAB (2) Trogossitid beetle (3) Dogbane beetle (4) Common green bottle fly (5) Sharpshooter (6) Sweat bee (7) Japanese beetle (8) Six spotted tiger beetle (9) Green stink bug (10) Green June beetle Kent Loeffler, Cornell University For more information about EAB look-alikes, or to download a look-alikes poster visit:

11 PDCNR - Forestry Archive, Bugwood.org Kent Loeffler, Cornell University Emerald Ash Borer: EAB Summary EAB adults and larvae have distinguishing characters that make them easy to identify Adults are metallic green and about ½ long. They are active from May to August Larvae can be found beneath the bark in late summer through late winter, have bell- shaped body segments, and have a tiny, flattened head
12 Emerald Ash Borer: Vulnerable Plant Species The only trees attacked and killed by EAB in North America are ash trees, the genus Fraxinus. There are 16 species of ash in North America and only three are commonly found in New York. White ash (F. americana) and green ash (F. pennsylvanica) are common forest trees and are also frequently planted in urban areas. Black ash (F. nigra) is an important wetland species and is culturally important for Native Americans that use the wood for traditional basketry. Richard Webb, Bugwood.org
13 Emerald Ash Borer: Ash Trees are easy to Identify All three Ash, white, green and black, have: Opposite Branching Pinnately Compound Leaves (5-11 leaflets) Large, Stout, Terminal Buds Noticeable Bud Scars Oar Shaped, Dry Fruit (samaras) Diamond Pattern in the Bark (white and green ash) Robert Vidéki, Doronicum Kft., Bugwood.org
14 David Cappaert, Michigan State University, Bugwood.org Ash Trees
15 Paul Wray, Iowa State University, Bugwood.org Bill Cook, Michigan State University, Bugwood.org Opposite Branching Buds (therefore leaves and branches) grow directly across from each other. Only a few trees in NY have opposite branching: Ash, Maple, and Horsechestnut/Buckeye. Opposite, Ash Alternate, Beech

34 Mark Whitmore, Cornell University Emerald Ash Borer: Signs & Symptoms of EAB Infestation Symptoms are host responses to pest infestation. Signs are physical clues of a pest that are unrelated to host responses to the pest. Depending on Pest Pressure (PP) it can take 2 or more years for an infested tree to show noticeable signs or symptoms of EAB attack. PP is basically the number of EAB in an area attacking the trees. At the beginning of an infestation when PP is low the trees take years to display Signs & Symptoms. When PP is high tree death can be in 1 to 2 years and the onset of Signs and Symptoms is rapid.
35 Module 3: Module Objectives EAB ID Ash Tree ID Symptoms of Infestation Summary Quiz Signs & Symptoms of EAB Infestation Ash with Signs & Symptoms will not be found singly, neighboring trees will also be affected. EAB spread across the landscape infesting trees they will not focus on only one tree. Look around when you find a suspicious tree. Signs & Symptoms important in detection are: Woodpecker Foraging Vertical Bark Cracks Canopy Decline Epicormic Sprouts D-shaped Exit Holes S-shaped larval galleries Adult feeding on leaves Exit Glossary Home Previous 1 of 4 Next
36 Emerald Ash Borer: Signs & Symptoms of EAB Infestation Woodpecker foraging: It doesn t take long for woodpeckers to learn that EAB can be found under the bark of ash trees. Usually before any canopy symptoms are present you can find signs that woodpeckers have been feeding on EAB. At first there are just a few places where you can find the bright brown bark exposed and a spot where the woodpecker has reached in the bark to pull out an EAB. These are usually dispersed around the trunk in a checkerboard-like pattern. As EAB populations increase the bark will be more thoroughly removed from larger areas and can be easily seen from a distance, especially when the bark is wet. Mark Whitmore, Cornell University
37 Key to recognizing Woodpecker foraging on EAB Fresh bark flaking easiest to see when wet Look for the light brown color of freshly flaked bark. Look for holes where the woodpecker has found a prey. How deep is the foraging Are they foraging deep in the wood or remaining in the bark? Are they foraging in sound wood or punky, rotten wood? Pattern of foraging Dispersed in checkerboard manner Large swaths of freshly flaked bark All in a line and old = not EAB
38 Mark Whitmore, Cornell University Emerald Ash Borer: Signs & Symptoms of EAB Infestation Bark Cracking: This is the earliest sign of EAB infestation. This occurs when the first EAB attacks are few and far between on the stem of an ash. The bark is killed above the spot where the EAB have fed, but the surrounding inner bark is perfectly healthy and the tree continues to grow. With low PP it can take years for EAB populations to build to the point where they are killing trees. Every year the tree grows after the initial attacks the areas of dead bark will split wider and wider and the EAB gallery beneath can be seen.
39 Mark Whitmore, Cornell University Emerald Ash Borer: Signs & Symptoms of EAB Infestation S shaped galleries and D shaped exit holes: When you see woodpecker foraging on a tree and perhaps some bark cracks then chances are closer examination will reveal the D shaped holes adult EAB make as they chew their way out through the bark. These can be small, usually only 3 to 4 mm wide. When you peel away the bark of an ash infested with EAB their typical S shaped galleries. Even when EAB densities are very high and most of the galleries are obscured closer examination will reveal signs of this typical gallery shape.
40 Mark Whitmore, Cornell University Emerald Ash Borer: Signs & Symptoms of EAB Infestation Canopy thinning: Canopy thinning can take years to become apparent at the beginning of an infestation when the PP is low. Canopy thinning is caused not so much by branches dying, but by the general leaflet size decreasing because EAB has cut off the flow of nutrients for full leaf-out. Usually by the time canopy thinning is noticed the trees have suffered considerable loss of inner bark and will be unable to recover using pesticide treatments.
41 Mark Whitmore, Cornell University Emerald Ash Borer: Signs & Symptoms of EAB Infestation Epicormic sprouting: Epicormic, or water, sprouting is a response by the tree to fill out canopy that has been lost by some physical means such as EAB killing the upper parts of a tree. Green ash are strong sprouters, whereas white ash produce fewer and less vigorous sprouts. By the time epicormic sprouting appears the trees have suffered considerable loss of inner bark and will be unable to recover using pesticide treatments.
