Tree ID / arborist?

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

I will likely be contacting you about moving the swamp cooler from my back yard to my roof this summer as well. We'll see how the money flows first.

Right on. I typically refer that work to a buddy of mine. Very good guy, good prices too.

The pictures we have are from the porch and far away... they show no detail on the leaves at all.

Well, my tree has sadly been confirmed to be a 'green ash'. I live squarely in the middle of where this problem is getting started here in Boulder. The trunk on the tree is 38" in diameter at a point 2' above ground. I've received one quote already in terms of treatment, any arborist's feel like adding a bid on this one?? PM me if you deal with this sort of thing, thanks

Tree borers are usually controlled by spraying from the base of the tree up the trunk a few feet with a tree oil/pesticide combination. Tree oil is mineral oil that smothers the eggs of insects, and the insecticide increase effectiveness. A garden sprayer will work, and there may be over the counter, non restricted use pesticides that will work. A variety of treatments are found with a google search.

You might first call the local state extension service or state forest service office for recommendations, if you're inclined to do it yourself.

Ok. I think we have a winner. I / we believe it to be a " Sea Buckthorn " botanical name is " Hippophae Rhamnoides "

It may not exactly be a Sea Buckthorn but it is defiantly in the same family. Let me know if it gets the berries this spring. I wonder where the former owner got it. I know I don't carry it nor any of my competitors. The berries may not be edible. Watch the birds and see if they eat them.

I'll definately take close ups of the leaves and flowers/berries if there are any. I know it is not on the list of "approved shrub/tree palette" on the HoA documents. LOL yeah I wonder where it did come from.


Thank you very much for your help!.
