Hi Nancy

In July 2010 several dozen White Ash (Fraxinus americana) in my Hantsport  
neighbourhood suffered a severe die back of top canopy. They appear to have  
recovered although the affected branches etc. appear to be dead.

I don't think the cause was ever diagnosed. Emerald Ash Borers may be one  
suspect perhaps.
