One of our clients called and said one of of trees we treated is in decline. Several people have been out there to inspect it. Its been giving more injections. Yesterday I checked it out. First thing i notice is mulch volcanoed up the trunk. I pull back the mulch, still no root flare. Ive carefully dug down a foot through the saturated heavy clay soil. Still no flare or big roots. Lots of tiny new feeder roots coming out of trunk. Under the wet bark is lots of mycelium.
I talked to the overseer of the property and he said," yep, we brought in a lot of dirt to raise that area up".
This is a 40 inch pondorosa pine, in a court yard of a 15 million dollar summer home. The tree is showing lots of yellowing and no new growth. Im going up there again today to finish exposing the root coller and arger some air holes around tree out to the drip line.
This is a high value tree, if money was no object, any one have any ideas on how to reverse and fix the damage. Will putting in a tree well and then laying some air shafts radiating out be enough?
