Emerald Ash Borer - I found one back in May here in PA

I reported it to the state email address telling them that I had found it and where...

Apparently it was confirmed ..

I am kind of upset about this....I have a beautiful ash tree in my yard and it would sadden me greatly if it was to be affected by this blight...

1. Sorry to hear that

If they quarantine, the state may take your ash tree anyway, and any others in the area. Have there been a lot of them found in your area? None yet here in Iowa, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

2. they had been found just across the border in Ohio

and I know Ohio is under quarantine...
So where I work is just a short hop out of Ohio (about 30 minutes from the border from the turnpike)
