I have a very old birch tree in my front garden. i have been noticing that the ground around it gets covered with saw dust and the bark on one of the sides is disappearing.
I though it was down to squirrels chewing it but yesterday I had a good look with my neighbour and she told me that something is drilling holes in the bark. i checked and saw lots of holes and dead, cracked bark.
I injected some inseticidal soap in the holes with a small syringe.
Will my tree die? Can I do something to save it?
I already lost two birch trees due to the draught.:o(
thank you for any help.:o)
