Hi all: My technicians just called in- they are coring red oaks in a mature forest near Dayton Ohio, and they report that three trees in a row have, at some point in the process squirted, vinegary liquid from the borer bit for ~ 10 minutes each.
3/3= 100% albeit a small sampling. So, what gives. My answer was that there must be some fissure in the canopy of the tree that is letting water into a rot pocket and they are draining the pocket with the borer. Alternative explanations? thanks ryan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
