Hi
We have 3 birch trees.
One is 50% gone from bronze birch borers and we are going to cut that one down and another one shows stress and is a large tree 15" wide at the base.
The tree guy said he could inject it with some kind of pesticide this week. Is that something we should do or should we try something else.
Thanks in advance!

The more advanced the disease the less likely that treatments will save the tree. See our website for additional information.
