Lilvia Bradbury with Teacher’s Tree Service treats the white ash at the McGarghans’ home on Lake Road for emerald ash borer. Teacher’s is donating the treatment because this is the biggest white ash in Charlotte. The tree will need to be treated every two years which costs around $600. So far, emerald ash borer hasn’t been found in town, but the insect is getting closer and closer. Greg Ranallo of Teacher’s Tree Service said the tree is about 200 years old which is the age of the McGarghans’ home.
