Breeding for EAB Resistance: What Does the Future Look Like for Ash Trees?

[@jesseandersen4055]

Finally some good news. Ive recently become very interested in the native hardwood american species. The american chestnut got me interested. It seems the most beloved species have been under attack, the chestnut and the elm. Iconic american trees. Heartbreaking to see them declining so. I hope this breeding program will offer long term resistence to save these amazing trees.

Thank you for sharing this information. I will keep on eye ont for lingering ash trees.

These trees are actually planted in the city of Detroit in 2 places already. Rouge Park and Herman Keifer.

Excellent presentation. I have wooded land where EAB wiped everything out long ago. However, I now see some young ash regrowing and thriving. Is there interest in tracking these in the app? They would be 1-4” ABH range.
