Cedars Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Lots of leaf eaters use the ash as host but it seems the ash has very few borers as pests. Borers: clearwing borers, Family Sessidae, Order Lepidoptera Two native insects:Lilac/Ash Clearwing BorerHosts:lilac, privet, most ash Banded Ash Clearwing BorerHosts:lilac, privet, most ash Some good pics on second page:http://ashalert.osu.edu/nativepests.asp And one exotic:Emerald Ash Borer Seems this one is causing alot of problems in one particular area http://www.emeraldashborer.info/http://www.na.fs.fed.us/fhp/eab/ If its not wood damage your thinking of, heres a link to a list of Minnesota trees and pests, that lists a wider variety of pests and hosts:http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/DG0704.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
