    We did not receive the image, but new tree care is pretty consistent no matter the variety.
    It is a tough time of year with warm temperatures for success, but I would give it a go.
    The lack of root ball is an issue, but sometimes trees can survive even this issue.
    Water daily for at least 2 weeks, even longer in this instance.
    You will just need to wait and see on this one. Best of luck.
    Here is a link about new tree planting care.

    You can buy a product called "fruit eliminator". It can greatly reduce the amount of fruit and seeds a tree produces.

    This is actually likely to kill the tree. Copper is rather toxic to the tree and tightening the wire will essentially slowly girdle the tree, which could eventually kill it. It is possible that the stress to the tree from such a tactic could reduce the energy it has towards producing seeds, but the long term effects would not make it worth it.

    I would recommend that you actually try to improve care to the tree. Trees will often increase the number of seeds produced if they feel stressed. Make sure the tree is getting enough water and is fertilized regularly. You can also hire a tree care professional to spray your tree with a chemical that will help to sterilize the tree. It is not 100% effective with ash trees, but can significantly reduce the number of seeds. This chemical needs to be applied yearly.

    It's a bit late to transplant a tree at 15 feet, and in the first year or so it will be making new roots, and you wil not see much growth. My Raywoods were planted 6 years ago, are now 15/20 feet and gave a spectacular display of colour this fall for the first time.

    The Raywood Ash tree is listed as a fast growing tree.
    It's yearly growth rate can be about 1 ft per year and will grow faster with more water and fertilizer.
    Your tree sounds to be healthy and likely is just becoming established.
    Here are some links with more information.

    There is a lot of research being done to control the Emerald Ash Borer.
    I would contact the nearest Agriculture office near you to report an infestation.
    Here are some links for you.
