Hi

I thought vine weevils attacked the roots of plants? This damage is all
on the leaves and foliage above ground as far as I can tell. I think
there have been some leaf miners at work, I've found some borage leaves
full of it, but I don't think they've caused the rowan tree damage.

Hi

I think I either have a plague of one thing or lots of different things
*suddenly* eating my plants' leaves and flowers!

The most worrying to me is my young rowan tree which we planted earlier
this year. It has done OK and put some branches out and good leaves,
it's over 6ft high, but in the last few days they are covered with small
holes which are brown-edged and from a distance the leaves don't look
green any more and some are like lace. I can't find the pest that's
doing it but it's had a go at almost every leaf.

There is something eating the leaves and flowers of my nicotiana plants,
leaving quite circular holes.

A tall herb (sorry, can't even remember the name now!!) has also been
devastated, with leaves eaten down to the spine and in a very sorry
looking state.

I can't put all this down to slugs/snails as I think there must be a
range of things. I know there are horrendous numbers of earwigs around
so could they be doing some of it?

What, most importantly, could have attacked my rowan tree so badly?

Thanks, in panic!
