Brazilian Pepper Tree Roots

  1. Hello. I have an old, very beautiful Brazilian Pepper tree. Some workers hacked off several roots on one side when I was away. Is there anything I should do in the short term to try to keep the tree healthy? Many thanks, Daniel

    Where is this?

    If you are not in Brazil, bear in mind that this tree is classed as a very serious invasive weed species in many areas. It could be that they were treated as part of an official weed control program.

    I think the original poster was from California.
