Is an ash (green and white ash) common in central Indiana?
EAB reached all 92 Indiana counties by 2017 and state projections put eventual ash losses near 95%. Ash was heavily planted here — a 2008 Indiana DNR street tree study put white ash in Indianapolis's top five street species at about 4.9% — so neighborhoods platted from the 1970s through the 1990s still have standing dead ash on the tree lawn.
Why that matters for tree work
Emerald ash borer has been confirmed in all 92 Indiana counties since 2017, so the question on a central Indiana ash is almost never whether to save it — the untreated ones are already dead or dying and only trees on an active systemic treatment program are still viable. What a quote on an ash really prices is access: whether it comes down as a climbable tree or a bucket-and-crane job.
