How can I tell if my Dogwood tree is dead?
Comments (3)"Do dogwoods go through stages where they are dormant for a year?" no There's not enough information presented here to know what happened. My recommendation (especially if no more information is known) is to contact your local ag extension office and maybe take a sample to them. They should be very familiar with your local conditions and local issues. They may be able to tell you what to look for, especially in regards to likely problems in your area. If they are able to view a sample of the tree, that might also be a big big clue. The reason you haven't gotten more answers is that you posted your question in the picture gallery section (where most people don't even look) and didn't even add a picture!...See MoreHow to tell fruit trees are dormant/dying/dead?
Comments (4)also... as the soil warms in spring.. they will have white root tips.. and that would be prime planting time ... its good info to have.. but dont go scratching all your plants up too much ... its mid NOVEMBER.. just stick them in the ground.. and forget about them until its planting time ... if vermin are an issue.. you might want to protect them.. ken...See Morehow do i tell if my caterpillars are dead?
Comments (1)They often go without moving for a long period of time when they're in their growing phase, but normally they'll be clinging onto a stem or twig while doing that. I have had caterpillars clinging to a stem get knocked over onto their sides, and they may not bother moving for a long time, but they'll keep hanging on to the stem. When they are getting ready to pupate they attach themselves to something, usually a wall or ceiling, and form themselves into a "J" for a day or so before they split off the caterpillar skin and become a pupa. It looks like this. You can see the loop of thread that they attach themselves with....See MoreTiny green caterpillars eating my tea roses - TELL ME HOW TO KILL
Comments (32)That’s interesting .. I already have some spinosad but didn’t realise, it is marketed here as a fruit fly control, see the blurb below. Nature’s Way Fruit Fly Control has been included in this range because it’s based on spinosad, the naturally-derived insecticide found in Yates Success. Yates Nature’s Way Fruit Fly Control works by tricking the insect into absorbing the spinosad that’s been combined with an irresistible bait. After she emerges from her pupal case in the soil, the female fly looks to feed on a source of protein before she lays her eggs. When she eats the protein and sugar bait in Nature’s Way Fruit Fly Control, she also ingests a dose of the insecticide, which means she never makes it to the egg-laying stage. Fruit fly baits are nothing new but many have used a hormone that only attracts male flies (they’re the ones that don’t lay the eggs!) or have been based on a nasty chemical. Now Yates Nature’s Way Fruit Fly Control has a low toxic formulation that really works. also found this because spinosad is highly effective against diamondback moth, but because it also controls several other important lepidopteran pests such as heliothis (Helicoverpa spp.), cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae), cabbage centre grub (Hellula hydralis) and cabbage cluster caterpillar (Crocidolomia pavonana) at rates which provide growers with excellent value for money. Spinosad is highly active against loopers (Chrysodeixis spp.) and affords some control of cluster caterpillar (Spodoptera litura) and onion thrips (Thrips tabaci). So so if my rose slugs ever start on my buds I’ll use this. Might even do it on the climbing nahema as I can only squish so high! And they do shred the leaves to pieces ......See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
