Big trees indigenous to the states, important to the hardwood industry and just decimated in a few years time. We keep relying on imports from questionable areas around the world and expect more if the same. You can't possibly check every shipment coming in and it only takes one to start the problem.

My property backs up to a county park and the parks department came around and marked the ash trees that were infested and then had a tree service cut them down. Total of 6 trees taken down on my property line, many others deeper in the woods are now dead. The parks guy told me 85% of the ash trees in the park are infested and will die. He said there is a way to kill the EAB by injecting something into the tree but it would cost around $300/tree.
