Sounds like worms. Or Grubs.Get some BT and spray them.
Can't spell this but here goes : Baccsiliss Theringis. That's what BT is.
Ask your Nurseryman.



As I said, this is the work of twig boring wasps. They eat their way
into the cane and lay their eggs in it. I've watched them do it. BT
is useless against
them.

Sealing the end of the newly cut cane with Elmer's glue will deter
them, so will carbolated vaseline. (it's available at any drugstore.)
