All the trees seem to be declining rapidly. The bark is falling off the upper canopy limbs at a drastic rate. The home is 4 years old. It is a nice stand of young 15-25 year old Quercus Alba. The crowns of almost all his trees are dying back. Its winter and all I can tell is bark falling off some limbs so I know its severe.
He is landscaping most of the yard. I've consulted with him and will return in the spring to prune out the dead. In the mean time is there anything I can do for his forest. Ive thought of cambistate application throughout 2 acreas of his land. There is some evidence of borer damage. I suspect this is secondary to the primary cause of damage "Compaction!"
Here are more pics to help asertain his dieases and causes.
Pic 4 is evidence of semi-digested wood from borers.
Thanks for any help in advance on any othe the pics.
