Help, I have a lovely Sango Kaku in a large (24" ceramic planter which did very well for about 5 years. It is one of the very few varieties that can handle our hot, muggy weather. All of a sudden it has what I am pretty sure are borers. I suspect it's leaves formed such a perfect canopy they acted like an umbrella and it did not get enough water this past summer.

I am pretty much of a no chemical gardener but I would hate to lose this tree. I have cut off all the affected brances that I can see so far but I am sure there are more. Is there any hope? Any and all suggestions welcomed.

Thanks
