Borers are also often responsible for the beginning of wood decay. To prevent this trouble, trees should be shaped up as early as possible to avoid making large cuts. Heavy limbs should be supported by cables or wires. Broken, badly dis- eased, or dead branches should be cut off. All cuts should be made with sharp tools close to the trunk or supporting limb
