Hortiscope: Take steps to keep insects away from tree

Q: I have what I believe is an amur maple that is about 5 years old. I just noticed that the tree has a hole in the trunk. The hole is about 3 inches long and an inch or so wide. I saw something inside the hole and dug it out, but it fell in the snow and I couldn’t find it again. It looked like a grayish-white oval bug. This hole goes about halfway through the trunk. Last summer, the tree did fine. However, I cannot imagine a hole this deep is good for it. Is this tree a goner?

Q: I purchased three white flower dogwoods. Two of the three died, but I took them back and had them replaced because there was a guarantee on them. The problem is that they grow for two to three months, but then the tree starts dropping leaves and the branches turn very brittle and die.

Q: Two years ago, we planted strawberries in our garden. They produced a lot of strawberries in year two and are pretty thick. Last year, they were not as thick, so we just wintered them by covering them with straw. What do I do to winter the plants this year?
