rebeccaper starts with ... Hi. I planted a young tabebuia palmeri about 6 months ago. It’s very healthy and is around 5.5 feet tall. I’ve noticed the trunk and branches are starting to crack, the cracks in the trunk are quite deep. Is the tree likely to die as a result of this and what can I do to protect from further cracks or disease? | About the Author Rebeccaper Laidley 5th March 2019 4:46pm #UserID: 19898 Posts: 5 View All Rebeccaper's Edible Fruit Trees |
Pauline Staff of Daley's Nursery says... The mature bark of this tree tends to be smooth, so it does sound like some sort of problem. I'm not an expert but I would suggest painting it with a copper solution in case it is fungal. A plant's health starts in the soil, so make sure it is adequately mulched and fed. Mulch also helps prevent splash that may spread fungal problems. | About the Author Pauline Staff of Daley's Nursery Kyogle 6th March 2019 3:42pm #UserID: 19813 Posts: 87 View All Pauline Staff of Daley's Nursery's Edible Fruit Trees |
