I should've gotten it done this spring but this morning I soil injected my 5 Green Ash trees in the yard. Just a picture of my kit.
I use a dose of 4 ml Merrit per inch of trunk. I drilled an 8 ish inch deep hole in the soil and injected it into that. I will water it in and repeat next spring. Seeing some sickly looking trees around within about 3/4 mile of home. It's easy to do I will try and save a dozen on my place. I have tree that's loaded with seeds and will try and save some for later. ffsmiley

Hopefully the borers don't already have a 5-6 year head start on your ash trees. Takes a few years for the borers to finish girdling the trees by feeding off the cambium layer.
Wish you well saving your ash. :thumbsup:
