National Balloon Classic
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play…
just a typical day in City of Indianola #thinkindianolafirst ball games and balloons!
So what’s the green tape around some street, park and trail trees mean?
We have systematically removed all Ash trees in the parks over numerous years. This allowed us to prepare for Emerald Ash Borer and also allowed us to replace the trees incrementally through a number of years.
Emerald Ash Borer was not here when we started, but it is now. We planned ahead as we had seen how it affected other cities in other states as it made its way towards Iowa.
Last year we removed the worst Ash trees in the parking around the city. Last fall the Ash trees that are left all appeared healthy. This year they are not. The wood becomes very brittle as they die and we cannot risk leaving them till they are completely dead. Therefore all the Ash trees in parking will be removed. Some may appear ok, but if you look closer you will likely see signs of decline.
The pictures are all of trees that appeared healthy in October.
Things to notice:
1. Dead branches (obvious :))
2. Sprouting around the crown and thinner at top
3. Flaking or scraping off bark up top and along the trunk
4. D shaped holes in trunk
5. Increase in woodpecker population
* If there is one in your yard you can look into treatment for the tree or removal.
