Questionsdiseased silver birch
Geoffrey Porter Staff asked 12 years ago

There is a silver birch tree in my garden which appears to be decaying. please see the attached picture. Do you think that the tree should be cut down or is it possible to save it somehow. Also, if it is a prevalent disease, is it possible to prevent it spreading to other trees? It would be great if you can answer soon as I am concerned that the tree may fall down.
