Ash tree

Ash trees all over the northern hemisphere are dying due to the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) . There are a lot of ash trees in Svångemåla and although some are still looking OK, the one in the picture has not been well for some years. I informed the electric power company (EON) some time back but they did not take any action until it was too late and the tree and the power line had gone down.  I am very lucky that no one was sitting around the fire that we normally have exactly where it hit! It took four days until the power was back on :)

Welcome back to Nybro kommun. This year there must have been strange winds here, - I ´ve seen a lot of broken trees, and especially around Mosjön, not so far from your place.

Jag har pckså tänkt på att det är många träd som gått ner och sett att de flesta är just askar. Ytterligare två blåste kull nära vårt lusthus men förstörde inget.
