Re: borers

It is hard for me to think about not having redbuds but the Forest Pansy is
burgundy for the spring and until hot weather.  Actually, mine is colored
better than the others in town but they are between the road and the side
walk.  But then they do not have borers either. Boo hoo.  The sawdust was
still there.  I will wait one more day-make that 2.  I have many salamanders
, lizards. and frogs that I do not want to kill.
Nancy  cool Tennessee     went to see the all on all off lightening bugs in
the Smokies last night and they were beautiful.  Ours down in the lower
elevations make J's.
