Save Torrey Pine Trees from Boring Insects

Pat LOVED this query from Allen:

QUESTION FROM ALLEN: I have a boring insect on my torrey pines, not sure what it is but the trees
are dying, is there something i can do to save them?

PAT’S ANSWER: Put a circle of chairs close to the trunk of your Torrey pine tree. Invite a select group of your most scintillating friends for cocktails. Pour martini’s all round. To get the conversation started, bring up volcanoes, earthquakes, Afghanistan, health care, global warming, and crop circles. Your Torrey Pine will no longer be bored.
