The bronze birch borer

The bronze birch borer prefers stressed or injured trees. Light infestations kill the upper branches of trees under attack, but heavy infestations may cause the death of the entire tree.

Some of the causes that predispose birch to borer attack are

  • drought,

  • sunscald,

  • defoliation from other insects,

  • injuries caused to the tree by storms,

  • mower damage,

  • improper pruning,

  • improper planting (too deep or too high),

  • improper fertilization or just plain old age.

The borer can not survive in healthy trees.  

We do Mycorrhizal Nutrient Feeding applications
for promoting root growth over foliar growth to maintain healthy trees and to avoid the type of growth that can lead to insect or disease onset.

Three applications are generally required during the spring and summer (mid-May, mid-June, and mid-July).
ls, including carbaryl and pyrethroids, are also available for foliar application.
