Sawdust at the base of the tree reaccumulates daily. There are small borer holes noticeable also. But surely this big cavity isn't caused by borers? I really know little about the situation. I thought maybe one of the systemic insecticides might help. Is it a goner? Any suggestions would be appreciated. First 2 pix are just to give you an idea of how big it is. |
