There are a lot of birch trees in my area and they all seem to die from the top down. That is why they are called "widow makers". When guys go to cut them the tops fall out and down and kill whoever is cutting the tree. They can't hear the falling top because of the saw they are using.
I have a very nice clump of birch near the house that I would love to have get big and not let this happen. Any suggestions? I have been told they are borers and nothing can be done about them. I can count a half a dozen right from my deck that are dead.
