I always like to have some local species in the collection!
So I waited till the hour that the local park ranger was having a Belgium Beer.
Dug up some Beeches and got a beer myself.
Wirhout further ado:
Problem:
Bite marks on leaves from may/june. Or they seem like bite marks.
New growth in summer seems weaker, new leaves curling and browning, “bite marks” appear on new growth as well (or after a while at least).
Browning in leaf edges.
- Healthy young beech in spring and before, vital spring growth
- Substrate accordingly and free draining
- Treated for Mildew, Lice and Carterpillars
- Renewed the substrate two weeks ago, cleaned the roots by water spray, no rootcutting and renewed the substrate 2:1:1 as is was before.
Deducted the snale subject by covering the soil and offering a lovely beer for them.
Seems like a root problem to me. Maybe not. But what is best to do for Beech in this case if the pictures shown and the info given are enough to judge accordingly?
