Statement

Trees fall ill from cold, strong wind and hot sun; signs are pale leaves, scanty sickly sprouts, dried branches, oozing milk. Treat by paring ulcers with a knife, applying a paste of Vidanga, ghee and silt, then sprinkling with water and milk. For premature fruit-loss, water with boiled-and-cooled milk plus horse-/black-/green-gram, sesamum and barley → abundant flowers and fruit.

Vastu Ayurveda Bridge

⚑ Bhat notes that Chakrapanimishra's Vishvavallabha attributes tree disease to vitiation of the three doshas (vata/pitta/kapha) — a tridosha-of-plants framing [MODERN — Bhat citing txt-vishvavallabha, NOT BS]. BS itself names only cold/wind/sun. The dosha link is a genuine vrikshayurveda↔ayurveda bridge but later-text, tagged accordingly (Q33). Tree-as-treatable-body is, however, BS's own stance.
