Huge Aloe tree with trunk pests

#1

Post by Leef »

Hi I have a 5m Aloe Barberae which has a rotting trunk, it looks like an insect attack? Does anyone have any ideas how I can save the tree? The bark is peeling off and there is a “sesame” kind of brown dust underneath. Can I spray it with a pesticide of some sort?
