I have two fruit trees (nectarine I think) in the backyard of a house recently purchased. They are not models of beauty, but they are bearing leaves and fruit.
There seems to be a fair amount of damage to the base of the tree I suspect from termites, though no pests are visible. Some one has done some major branch removal low on the trunk and it appears as though the bark is separating.
Should I cut them down to prevent termite spead to the structure, or is there a method for mitigating the existing damage and preventing further destruction?
Thank you.
