Our crew was asked to remove the dead branches from a European White Birch (Betula pendula) today and investigate any possible causes for the declining canopy. Bronze Birch Borer (Agrilus anxius) is a wood boring pest that commonly attack Birch species that are not native to Southern Oregon and was identified by our crew while working in this tree. Make sure your Birch trees are properly irrigated throughout the summer. This ensures they are more resistant to pests and other diseases.
