Hi Julie and Deb,

Do the grasshoppers only eat your palms and nothing else? If they do I buy
2000 off you!

not so fond of the palm in WA

The little buggers eat everything, but the palm gets the worst of it. The
gardenias cop a lot from the smaller grasshopper species as well - and the
caterpillars of some butterfly. I wouldn't mind if the gardenias were
bigger, but they're only about 30cm tall, and one caterpillar will just
about strip them.
