These are pictures of the ash trees I'm cutting down. I have a buddy who says it isn't ash borer damage. What do the pros here say. There are only a couple trees that don't have the marking and I've included a couple pictures of them. I've been cutting the trees that have dead branches on the top because I assume they are going to rot first so maybe that's why there is only a couple without the markings. The trees are form about 8" up to 22" dia. We have ash bore here and have for several years. I've scrapped the bark and found evidence of the borers under the bark layer but haven't had a chance to check these. The stuff I cut earlier in the year didn't seem this bad but maybe I just never noticed it as much. FYI the pile in the back that is all black on the ends is poplar with 8 ash logs at the front.
