Mountain Pine Beetles In Your Backyard (Fri. Aug, 18 2006)

 

Birch Tree Pest on the Rise (Mon. Jun, 5 2006)

 

If residents notice the top centre branches of their birch trees browning by mid-summer then they should take immediate action. The problem may be a wood boring insect call the Bronze Birch Borer.  Populations of this borer are increasing due to previous years of drought and if left unchecked may be fatal to the tree. Bronze Birch Borers usually attack droughty, stressed or older birch trees. They can be detected by the presence of bore holes and conspicuous swellings of the bark in the upper most branches of the tree. If this borer is present in your tree the affected branches should be pruned out immediately.
