Iris borers appear to be quite common here in
Denver, CO also. When I lived in northern California they were non-existent, but
here I've found them in the one clump of TBs I inherited when I moved in and I
have found them in several of my siberians this year as well (although the
borers seem to prefer the larger tetraploid siberians over the older diploids).
Even more distressing, I've found borers in two of the nine commercial shipments
of new Siberians I ordered this year. And, in siberians, I've found it hard to
detect borer damage until it is too late - usually I found out when the rhizome
dies (with the center of the fan going brown) and I find the borer when I pull
up the rhizome. What do list members use to keep borers out of their
siberians?
Best Regards,
