Do ash trees normally leaf out last in N Indiana? I'm learning my trees and I think my ash trees still haven't leafed yet.
 
Ash trees leaf out late and fall early.
 
The couple young ones I still have alive are just starting to bud out.

My street is lined with 80 year old Ash they are starting to leaf now but not close to being finished.

Sad to say but you will probably have some good firewood soon.

We might but I was able to stop the city from cutting them and give treatment a try. Actually I got someone
to donate treatment for all 37 trees on my street for the next 30 years. It would make me sick to loose them all.

I was a tree jockey for years when you say treatment sounds like they will be spraying them, injection is the only thing that will work.

No spray, they will be injected as soon as they are full leaf!
I couldn't imagine loosing these trees, and we were close to having them all cut by the city.
That for sale sign in the pic. ended up being the home I bought 5 years ago, one of the reasons
was the beautiful trees. From google it's not hard to see which street is lined with these massive
Ash...

yes, hope you can save them!!!!!!!!!!!!

we've about lost all our hemlock here - go up on top of a mountain and you can see veins of death in all the stream coves and hollows - where the hemlocks are now standing dead.



also, yes, in my yard, the little ash trees I've planted are the last ones that are just starting to leaf out now -

also, it seems that black locust and black walnut also leaf out late

Smokinjay, As far as work goes, he ended up quoting the treatment of 6500 ash trees in the city that were planned on removal. Talk about more work, I hope he scores big! We also plan on having the paper and news crews out for treatment day, that should spark some more interest and awareness. I think it's important for people to realize there are options. Thanks ya'll!

did they get a quote for that removal? I bet the treatment is gonna look crazy expensive, but not anything near as bad as removal, people just need to see those numbers, though.
