Dear Mr. Mani Nair, First of all, how big is the tree, I mean the girth? Secondly find out if there is any brown powdery stuff around its circumference. I have seen badam trees attacked by white stem borers. In which case, you will notice the presence of some powder around its girth clustered to a thickness of say half an inch or more. The tree will be girdled by the beetle, a bore will be found at one spot within this girdled area and you will find a bore right up to its core. Under the circumstence even if the tree perishes, you will start getting fresh shoots when it rains. I have seen this happen at Kamshet where I was living years ago at a farm. I do not think any advertiser will use poison to eliminate an obstruction to their hoarding. Regards Yazdy Palia.
