 People Radio KXRA, it's 1240, 79 degrees in the Lakes area, and we have Living the Country Life coming up. Emerald ash borer has reached our area. This tiny green beetle can destroy your ash trees by burrowing under the bark and cutting off their life supply. This is certified arborist Evan Amundsen at Carr's Tree Service. If you notice thinning leaves or dead branches, your tree might be affected.
