My eureka lemon tree recently quickly died. When I cut it down I
found that
an axial borer had drilled out the centre of the wood. The borer had
got
right down into the stump.
I quickly disposed of the cuttings but now it is in three Murraya
bushes.

I have not seen the borer. The wood shows no entry point that I can
find.
There is no saw dust.

I've had good success iwth treating cherry tree borer with metho or
even detergent. I got a big cow syringe from the vet, filled it and
put the needle it in the holes (dunno what sort of borer it was
though).
