What Causes Holes In Ash Trees?
Holes appearing in an ash tree often attract immediate attention from homeowners. While the holes themselves may be easy to see, identifying what caused them can be more difficult.
Several different conditions can lead to holes in ash trees. In some situations, woodpeckers create holes while searching for insects beneath the bark. In other cases, tree stress, bark damage, insect activity, environmental factors, or declining tree health may contribute to the appearance of holes.
Because multiple problems can produce similar symptoms, it is often important to evaluate the entire tree rather than focusing on a single symptom. Dead branches, thinning foliage, bark loss, poor growth, leaf discoloration, and canopy decline may provide additional clues.
Warner's Tree Surgery has been diagnosing and treating ash tree problems throughout Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe, Chandler, Scottsdale, and Fountain Hills since 1972.
