Decayed scars and cavities in the
trunk or limbs of trees are frequently
infested with wood-boring larvae or
ants. Such cavities not only favor
gradual decay and weakening of the
trees but afford an excellent winter
harbor> for certain injurious insects.
Cavities in the trunk usually are the
result of improper pruning and neg
lect to care for wounds from other
causes. Such cavities may, after pro-
per treatment including removal of
all dead wood, be filled with cement,
and the condition of the trees thus
materially improved.
