Hello! I’m new to this forum since hearing about it on the Orchard People podcast.

I thought of building a hugelkultur raised bed (four hugelkultur mounds and fill the center with dirt and plant a fruit tree) to account for soil level rising through the years as I build the soil.

Anyways, my question is: buried logs can attract termites, termites can infect live trees. There are termites in my area, is termites infecting a live tree  that significant of a risk?

If so what can be done to minimize it?

Thank you for your time.
 
It was a tommy gun. And now this tiny ad insists on being addressed as "Tommy":
