    Free birch tree help
    We have one lone mature (30 yr) birch tree on our front lawn. In the past few years a greenish black lichen has been growing on it. We have had very wet summers of late. The other point, is that it is located near an no longer used septic sewer system.

    I wanted to post a picture but that is not possible here.
