Emerald Ash Borer
What is Emerald Ash Borer?
Symptoms and Damage
Various signs of infestation:
- Loss of foliage in the top part of the tree
- Leaf discoloration at the top
- Presence of many new shoots at the trunk
- S-shaped tunnels under the bark
- Beetle D-shaped exit holes
- Signs of increased woodpecker feeding activity
Action Plan
The Town of Kirkland has implemented an Action plan and different strategies to reduce the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer and help preserve our arboreal heritage.

Inventory of the arboreal heritage
The Town has conducted a complete inventory of the more than 12 000 City-owned trees located in parks and street right-of-ways to identify their characteristics and geodesic positioning. All private ash trees were also identified and these inventories were done in partnership with specialized firms.
Treatment
Since 2016, hundreds of publically-owned ash trees have been treated with TreeAzin®, a biopesticide used to neutralize EAB infestations. Overall, results have been positive and efforts are ongoing. In order to receive this treatment, trees must meet certain conditions regarding their location, diameter (more than 15 cm) and overall health. Rates obtained by the Town for the treatment of public ash trees with TreeAzin® are also available to citizens for treating their own ash trees.
Replacement tree planting
Ash trees infested by more than 30% can generally not be saved and must be felled. A plan focusing on the diversification of tree species is currently used to replace felled ash trees. The plan also addresses a proactive approach to plant trees – approximately 50 per year – in strategic locations to ensure the growth of the urban canopy coverage (aerial view of the tree coverage on the ground).
Wood Recovery
As a mitigation measure against the spread of the EAB, the Town offers a free branch pick-up/on-site shredding service all year long. The shredding of branches allows both the Town and its citizens to reuse the wood recovered into wood chips in landscape arrangements.
