Yeah, I think so. Pefectly healthy looking tree. I planted it 30 years ago. It was in the front yard and so I kept it up. But it was losing limbs and branches. Not even dead limbs. The leaves on a limb would still be green but ~ BAM! ~

A branch about 2 inches wide and some 15-20 feet long would just fall off. As you can see - I had a professional remove the tree AND the stump and roots. He said this is common for ash trees over 25 years old.

We had an epidemic of emerald ash borer sweep thru Michigan a few years ago that literally decimated our ash trees here in S.e. Michigan.....

You might want to check it out. If your tree did have it then any other ash trees on your property may be danger. There is a product you can buy that you water the tree with that will keep the borer at bay.

All the ash trees that were in my sub and neighboring subs either died from it or were cut down to try and prevent the spred. My neighbor has the only healthy ash tree around but he has been treating it every year since the borer was first noticed in our area.......
