Re: Re: now Borers.....was orchid/yard

Well, I filled in the holes with whatever spray paint I had on hand.
Just Krylon spray paint. Then, I had some brown, water based paint (I
was afraid to use oil base) and went over the infected areas.

  Jesse, what type of paint....tree paint or reg. paint??
Curious. I'm losing all my cork screw willows that we brought back from 
Germany years ago to borers. Out of my 5 trees, I have one left, and that one 
is barely hanging in there.
