I had it for about 3 years and it was looking great. Then one
winter/spring, the bark beetles found it. That was also the year I
lost three other trees to ice storms. I think the storms may have
weakened the tree. It came back up from the roots and the current
trunk is about 4 years old. I have since learned to tell when those
beetles show up and how to get rid of them.

Fran,

So you cut the original tree done and it came back from the roots?
Wow! Did the original tree loose some major branches during the ice
storm? What do the bark beetles look like and what can you do about
them?

Did the tree survive? How long did you have the tree? Where do you
live? Can you give me any other details?

Patrick

Watch out for bark beetles. They got mine.
