- nkurz 11y agoThese are interesting links, but they have to do with treating individual ornamental ash trees that are infested with a particular insect. Fruit can only be grafted onto the same species (or a very closely related one) so this has no particular relevance. Information about standard treatments for ornamental plums or crabapples would be relevant, though.

Just staggering. http://www.courier-journal.com/story/tech/science/environment/2014/07/11/emerald-ash-borer-wiping-kentucky-trees/12499839/ http://www.courier-journal.com/story/tech/science/environmen...
