Re: CULT: question - borer emergence?


Thanks Griff.  I searched the archives & my first post about discovering
borers was May 13.

In my 700 ft elevation valley, I doubt I'm higher than you are.

But I am in the "middle" of the country, east of the Rockies, west of
the Appalachians, and our zone 7 climate has a much higher variance of
temperatures than yours.

Betty (zone 6, I think), didn't you say you only occasionally see borers
and that you don't treat with pesticides for them?

<We're seeing borer damage already here.  I can tell by your post
                   that, although we are north of you, you are at a
higher elevation, so your
                   bloom apparently is behind.  (My SDBs are about
bloomed out; my IBs are at
                   peak, and I have several TBs in bloom.)  --  Griff
