do aphids attack raywood ash trees

Powell, WY(Zone 4b)

I recently planted a raywood ash because my neighbor had such great success with hers. Now her tree looks like it has aphids on it, is this a problem with this tree?

Fresno, CA(Zone 9b)

Edrcook1, I just googled "raywood ash tree aphid."

That search brought up one of the first couple of referenced pages from UC Cooperative Extension, Volunteer Program, Kings/Tulare Counties (a county sharing a common boundary with my own county, Fresno) Newsletter of July, 2004 ( http://ucce.ucdavis.edu/files/datastore/268-94.pdf ).

The following quote from the above url/page may suggest that there could be a problem with aphids and Raywood Ash trees. I didn't peruse any more listings, but there are 10+ pages in my search of 10 results per page. Surely there is information there which might help you out. Good luck!

Quoting:
Like the woolly ash aphid that wreaked havoc on Modesto and Raywood ash trees in the valley ten years ago, it appears that beneficial insects etc. etc. etc.
