This customer called about his sycamores he planted years ago, concerned about the yellowing leaves and dieback. At the time of planting he installed PVC pipes to protect the trunks from w**d eater and lawn mower damage. While well-intentioned, by this point the pipes have done more harm than good, locking moisture against the trunks, causing rot and fungal problems. We are removing the pipes. I believe the trees will look much healthier next year.
