<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Good evening Alison,</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">For the past five years I've had ash at 20% in my books. I work primarily in a municipal setting and I benefit from applying by-laws that establish a minimum value for city trees where I am. I have
worked for municipalities that set a minimum value between 1000$ and 1300$ per tree. Usually, ash falls at the minimum which essentially makes up your planting cost for an average sized B&B tree.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Now that ash are dying in my neck of the woods, you bring up a good point. I have a hard time rating existing trees providing landscape functions at zero % if they still appear viable</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">.
For instance, the loss of a treated tree in an early infestation context</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"> that is responding well to treatment - the value the owner has put into retaining the tree, is it worth something? What
will that look like in a few years from now? I'm curious to see the situation unfold. Not sure that aspect is covered in tree appraisal literature - certainly not in French Canadian literature that's for sure.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">I'm looking forward to reading more points of view about this.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"><br>
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Best of luck and warm regards from Montreal!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;">Meg</span></p>

is in Simcoe County (Ontario) and EAB has been detected in several locations in the county. ISA Ontario has listed the species rating for Ash as 69-75%. Given EAB, there may be justification in lowering the species rating, but I am wondering what others
have been comfortable with.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
