Volvo EWR170E Assists Arborist in Battle Against EAB →

From Construction Equipment Guide... The emerald ash borer (EAB) is a type of beetle that feeds on ash trees. When the adult EAB lays eggs under the tree's bark, the larvae — which hatch in seven to 10 days — bore into the tree and feed. This inhibits the tree's ability to transport moisture and nutrients to its leaves, causing the tree to become unhealthy and, if left untreated, to die. In Minnesota, the EAB is considered a quarantined invasive species, and items that could be carrying the insect — including firewood, wood products and nursery stock — may not be moved without permission of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.
