Image Caption: Caption
1: In addition to reduced gum yields which often result when turpentine faces
are burned, fires remove the protective coating of gum on the face. With this
protection removed, wood-boring beetles gain entrance into the tree, usually weakening
it to such an extent that it is easily broken off during a windstorm.
Fires also prevent the old face from healing over normally by killing back the
healing edges along the face. Retardation of this healing process means postponement
of the opportunity for placing additional faces on the tree.
Caption 2: Forest officer examining burned tree which shows exit holes of turpentine
borer. These borers almost invariably follow burning which removes the gum protecting
the wound (face). [Florida.]
