Why is my birch tree dying from the top down?
- Birch trees can die from the top down due to an infestation by the bronze birch borer, which disrupts water and nutrient flow in the tree.
- Symptoms of infestation include yellowing or wilting foliage that turns brown and drops, first appearing on upper branches.
- If caught early, systemic insecticides can be applied at the base of the trunk to combat infestations.
- Trader mulberry, which is hardy in colder climates, is increasingly available at local garden centers and is suggested for planting in the fall for better root growth.
