I've heard that too and also
interested about the line. TBS grow with less
enthusiasm as you go deeper in the hot & humid
Southeast. At some point people stop growing them
at all, such as Florida and coastal areas along
the gulf. Less TBS might explain a failure of
borers to establish range?

Is there a
North/South line also? It seems the people
who have them are not in the deep South or
Southwest.

The
iris borer does indeed
exist west of the
Mississippi River. It
is also found west of
the Missouri River. I
am in Lincoln, Nebraska
(southeast Nebraska) and
the borer is very much
alive and thriving
here. It does disappear
west of us in central
Nebraska. It does not
exist in western
Nebraska, and does not
get to the Rockies. The
Mississippi forms the
border between Illinois
and Iowa, and Nebraska
is a few hundred miles
west of the
Mississippi.

Can tbose of
you who
responded to
this post,
please
indicate where
in the US you
are growing
irises? I
have heard
that iris
borers do not
exist west of
the
Mississippi.
Can any of you
let me know if
it has crossed
the
Mississippi?
