Hi Mr. Biswas, Your tree seems to have been attacked by Wood borers [generally Long-horned Beetle larve]. Am sure Ken will be able to help us with this. Regards, Neil Soares.

There seem to be holes in the bark ( ? due to termite infestation secondary to damaged bark) and we are concerned that the tree may not survive the damage. Please let us know the possible prognosis in this case as well as solutions to prevent a premature demise in this tree. regards, rakesh
