belinda constantini starts with ... Hi, I have a problem with my 3 year old Icecream bean tree. Some of the branches are dying off and when you look closer at the branches there is a ring around them like a insect or grub has burrowed under the bark. I would like to know how to treat this issue. Thanks | About the Author belinda constantini bundaberg 18th June 2012 8:04pm #UserID: 7027 Posts: 3 View All belinda constantini's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rev says... It must be some kind of borer There's many options Physical or chemical So easiest is to inject something nasty into the tree. Check out the poisons section for what's registered for borers. Synthetic chems aren't kosher in today's scene but they work, they're available and their residual or transfer over is miniscule. You might find sonething like malathion Realistically such a targeted use Will save your tree and give you far less exposure than eating commercial apples. Dont want that? Ok. Well now we get illegal Yes its true most organic remedies are technically illegal, because if it's not registered with apvma for use on a crop, it's illegal! True So natural options Being illegal you'll just have to google them yourself..
