Ash trees on notice

The Emerald Ash Borer has been found in Worthington.

The borer has arrived. Kiss your ash goodbye….

The Ohio Department of Agriculture announced a quarantine for all of Franklin County as a result of the discovery in the tree at the intersection of Larrimer Avenue and Schreiner Street West….

It is not expected that the city will clear cut the ash trees, as was done during early days of the infestation in other states.

That approach was expensive and did not work, said Worthington parks and recreation director Bill Poling.

Instead, he expects the city to remove only those ash trees that have become hazardous.
