I remember hearing about 6-7 years ago, that they estimated roughly 1% of the Ash trees would not be affected by the beetle. Those specific Ash put off some kind of scent or oil that the beetles don’t like. So there could possibly be a small amount of natural survivors after it sweeps all across the country. Here in the midwest, I have only seen 1 or 2 Ash trees naturally not affected, the rest are dead standing.
That’s cool that you can submit survivor trees like that. Thanks for sharing.USDA has said they've seen trees naturally resistant. I'm not sure it's enough to make a difference, but at least it's some hope.
I've also read that in some swamp areas the stumps survive and the swamp ash becomes a bush that survives.

That beetle , has devastated the ash trees
It is my understanding the EAB cannot survive without the Ash tree; True or False? If true, can't that Ash tree be replanted in the areas that are currently being devastated once the EAB is done and gone?
Not certain about that, would certainly like to know if true,

I have 2 ash trees in my yard; and no EAB here. They drop thousands of those seeds. I should start collecting them.
I unfortunately lost 4 large ash next to home, the biggest was over 42”
What’s the big chimney thing from?
