RE: borers

This is not a redbud I've heard of (Not that we can really grow them in
Maine anyway.) Borers such as this are common in all our rosaceous
plants which are capable of producing trunks. I would not be afraid to
use whatever it takes, although the systemic may need a little more time
to take effect, I would have thought.

Has any one hear about borers in the Forest Pansy redbud tree?  Mine was
getting too thick and crossing limbs so I got under and cut some
branches out.
Then I saw the sawdust.  Unfortunally, the borers are in the main
section of
the tree.  I feed the tree a systemic fertilizer and insecticide.  I
hate to
use Cygon but may have to if the sawdust evidence is still there today.
The
tree is beautiful and I would hate to lose it.
Any one have any other suggestions?
