Every fact cited
The same signs DANR used to confirm EAB in Brandon apply to your own tree: canopy dieback, D-shaped exit holes, bark splitting over S-shaped larval tunnels, and increased woodpecker activity. Given confirmed local presence, don’t wait out a full season if you notice two or more of these signs together.
Frequently Asked
01
Should I report a suspected EAB tree to the state?
South Dakota's DANR takes EAB sighting reports through its forest health program — useful both for your own tree's assessment and for tracking spread in already-confirmed areas like Brandon.
