Emerald Ash Borer Is Killing Ash Trees in Thornton

Emerald ash borer is spreading across the Denver metro, and ash trees in Thornton are at risk. Ash is a common shade tree in older Thornton neighborhoods, and most of those trees stand on private property, in yards, along driveways, and in HOA common areas.

Once an ash tree is heavily infested, it dies and turns brittle fast. Dead ash trees are dangerous to climb and can drop large limbs without warning. That makes ash one of the biggest reasons homeowners call for tree removal in Thornton.
