Somebody's talking crap here & it ain't the tree!
I usually have to do a cut back once, twice a year but I went heavy duty this time round.
The redbox in the front yard had to come down due to the longihorn beetle. That was the first tree I planted here when we bought the place.
Longicorn Beetles suck. As discussed last weekend mate they are becoming a real problem nearly everywhere I've looked. Yet to see any damage in Tasmania but everywhere else on the mainland it's an issue. I think that the old Fig Longicorn Beetle is the main culprit - it has a vast array of hosts.
