I know my tree may be doomed and removing the fruit will not save it. But ill try what I can to save it. Fungicides have been proven to be ineffective, but I’m not sure how they typically apply them. We treat ash trees by injecting them with a pesticide that targets emerald ash boring beetles. I’m going to try to apply that method with a fungicide to treat the cambium layer and see if that helps. Just because previous methods haven’t worked, doesn’t mean that new methods are completely pointless either.
