Tips

Rogier Van Bunnik 🇳🇱

July 10, 2022

Unfortunately, we see a section with conifers that are dying because of the bark beetle. The extreme drought of recent years has had major effects on the vitality of trees. The trees suffer a lot, especially on the higher sandy soils. As a result, they become sensitive to secondary organisms such as bark beetles and beautiful beetles, which often deliver the final blow.

Especially in the east and south of the Netherlands, many trees are declining. In the landscape, the thin tops of deciduous trees that are poorly leafed or of dead conifers can often be seen at a great distance.

Many trees are dead, and clearings in the rows of trees indicate that trees have already been cut down. Much has already been written about the primary cause, the drought of recent years.

It is less well known that insects also play an important role. Weakened trees are sometimes killed by secondary insects that they cannot ward off, which healthy trees often do.
