Many tree problems are associated with the following:

Troubles in the Rhizospherehttp://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/shigo/RHIZO.html

Unhealthy Trees from the Nursery / Improper Plantinghttp://home.ccil.org/~treeman/sub1.html and
Look up "Tree Planting"http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/shigo/RHIZO.html

Improper Mulching -http://home.ccil.org/~treeman/sub3.html andhttp://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/M/index.html Look up "Mulch"

Improper Pruninghttp://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/tree_pruning/

Improper Fertilization (See A Touch of Chemistry)http://www.treedictionary.com/DICT2003/shigo/CHEM.html

So if I understand correctly you think that this is a problem related
to the way I "treat" the plant rather than a sort of malicious
parasite or something similar.

Thanks :-)
