Hostas killing birch trees?
Has anyone ever heard of hostas killing birch trees? I planted about
8 hostas under a Y shped birch tree(s) 2 springs ago. Last fall we had to cut off one half of the Y, and now this spring the other half has died. We live in New England if that helps. Anyone ever hear of such a thing? |

If they were any type of white barked birch, they are very succeptile to phloem
boring insects that can kill the trees very quickly. On the other hand, if the hostas were of the dreaded marphistes variety..... Toad |
