<P class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>A question for anyone who is involved in preparing/reviewing
CTLA-based appraisals (e.g., trunk formula method) of ash trees: <B><I>How have
you considered Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in your valuations of healthy looking
ash?</I></B> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>It would be interesting to see if there is some consensus
about how to proceed; should we start discounting the species ratings because
‘all ash are doomed’? Or should we still consider each tree on its individual
merits and outwardly-visible condition, even though it may already be infested
and not yet showing symptoms? How do we account for the fact that many (if not
most) ash trees will become liabilities once infested/dead? <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Personally, I am somewhat hesitant to start discounting
still-healthy trees because of susceptibility to a pest (after all, many elms
have survived), but it is generally accepted that we will lose most of our urban
ash trees, and this may be fair to consider that when assessing
value.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Any thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated.
<o:p></o:p></P>
