We have the last Ash tree, probably in the entire state! It DID get damaged from the Emerald Ash Borer, but that thing will not die!

Beau cut down the tree before it FELL down, but it keeps re-sprouting, which I don’t mind. It is the most CHEERFUL shade of green (think, Kermit!) you’d ever want to see, and it looks like a big shrub right now. It’s in front of a line of Norway Spruce, so the greens look pretty together.

Not sure what Beau will do about it, but it’s in a spot he doesn’t often see, so maybe she can stay? Also, after felling 47 trees in the past few weeks, I think he’s sick of taking down trees, LOL!

Ha, I just found an ash sapling growing in a forlorn pot in my potting area. It’s about 2-1/2 feet tall. I’m trying to figure out where a nice ash might be nice should it ever get big enough to have some shade around it. Hoping the ash borers have moved on since they decimated them around here a few years ago.
