Quote from: maple flats on Yesterday at 09:21:25 PMAvailable energy can also be a major factor. To power a mill takes huge amounts of power,A lot of the larger mills run a co-gen electric plant. They have waste wood / sawdust / bark for fuel, and already need steam for the drying kiln. The electric system needs to be in place anyway, so all they really have to add is a steam turbine generator. They can even sell power back to the grid if they are generating more than the mill site needs.
Quote from: SwampDonkey on Yesterday at 04:41:09 AMThere's always survivors. We've had it up here for at least 5 years. I have not seen any ash dying yet. My ash are mostly young trees, one here and there might be 8" diameter. I figure it's mostly young age and good health in their favor. I'm also on lucks side so far.I hate to say it but that might be about when you start to see the problems develop. It took several years to realize the infection was here, suddenly you notice the bark slipping and the crown dying back, by then the tree has been infected for years. Even the 8" ones were stripped here. Have quite a few that send up suckers for a couple of years, but those all die back eventually.
