Can you help me identify this bush?
I have a bush that has leaves similar to a chrysanthemum but it has thorns. Don't know if it's a plant or a weed! It was here when we moved in last summer.
Take picture to local nursery, they can help plus have the products you need to help.
I don't know what that is, but the shape is very close to a hookworm that can get in tomato plants. If I ever find one, I am done growing tomatoes!
have you tried spraying the trees with any insecticide yet?
Send a copy of it to you local extension office, they should know or know who to send it to. 8-31-19
If you own a pump sprayer and insecticide, elm trees should tolerate all insecticide types.
Some other “imported” trees are more delicate, like ornamental Japanese maples.
----what kind of tree was defoliated? How big are these creatures? beetles larve/grubs are soft bodied usually white,tan or greyish colored-- do they have hard shells? looks more like some kind of millipede???? they do have beetle heads ----- I'm curious?????
Is this an emerald ash borer? Very destructive! Ask local county extension office for help or your DNR. Department of natural resources.
