Tree health

What we watch for in Dauphin County.

  • Emerald ash borer has killed or weakened most untreated ash trees in Pennsylvania. Dead ash turns brittle and should come down before it falls.
  • Dauphin County is in Pennsylvania's spotted lanternfly quarantine. We follow state rules when moving wood and brush.
  • Oaks are pruned only in winter, December through March, to avoid spreading oak wilt.
