St Andrews Golf and Country Club, West Chicago
Hats off to St.Andrew's Golf and Country Club! After Phil's recent discovery of EAB in West Chicago, this well known Golf Club realized it's valuable assets were in danger. The valuable assets we're referring to are their Ash trees. Golf Course Superintendent, Brian York, is a 38 year veteran of this site and has planted some of their 165 Ash trees personally over the years. In July Graf Tree performed an inventory of the trees on this property to collect this data.
Overall number of Ash, GPS coordinate, size, condition and other related data was collected on every tree. From this data we are working on a cost study analysis to determine how many and exactly which trees we are going to treat and save. Thank you St. Andrews for not only thinking Green but truly making a Green decision.

EAB Update
Many of you have been wondering if we will need to treat your Ash trees earlier this year. As soon as the Ash trees fully leaf out, and uptake is strong, we will be out treating trees. As usual we can't wait for leaf out to unveil some tremendous success stories with your Ash trees.

PHC Alerts
Keep in mind that Pine and Spruce trees, and all evergreens are under tremendous stress to begin this year. These trees desiccate year round, and with warm temperatures, abundant sunshine, and low soil moisture, we believe these trees are under stress already. Root feeding and proper watering will be more important than ever this season.
Fungicides are now complete on Crab Apples and Hawthorns, as well as the first insecticide spray for Pine Moth. In the coming weeks, we will be spraying fungicides on Pine and Spruce for fungal diseases such as Diplodia Tip Blight and Rhizospheara Needle Cast.
