Sycamore Tree Borer Infestation: Organic Treatment with Atomic Grow

Sue has two 50-year-old sycamores. One is healthy; the other stunted with curly/dead branches. Trimming revealed a large brown spot in a major branch cut surface. The tree trimmer suspected insects but wasn't certain.

Expert Diagnosis

Steve identified borers as the likely culprit—these insects bore through stems and branches, sucking vitality from the tree.

Treatment Protocol

• Soil drench: 5 gallons of Atomic Grow solution for 50-year-old tree
• Trunk spray: Apply as high as reachable
• Mechanism: Product absorbs into tree systemically

Organic Approach

Atomic Grow is presented as an organic solution that both treats the infestation and improves overall tree health, potentially enabling the tree to resist future borer attacks.
