Relative to stumping and replacing out right, I thought this was a valid option for rejuvenation considering fiscal concerns . Some selected shoots have reached heights of 1.6m in a two year growth period! I am concerned about their attachment points though. Some of our recent weather has snapped some of the new replenishing water sprouts which is having me question whether this idea is a poor one. Further to that I have a concern about perpetuating E.A.B. cycle, by providing new food sources.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Some street trees have been selected, some from parks, and some from remnant forests and small isolated stands. It is the remnant forests where I think my efforts should be focused, any opinions are welcomed<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I am curious how my fellow foresters are dealing with these new “Ash Shrubs”!
