[IBC] Shoot Tip Moths on Pine
Last year in July I found that the shoot type moth had laid its eggs in
a pine tree and the young were busy devouring the young shoots. I followed the advice of IBC members and dutifully picked off all I could find. Nina Shishkoff suggested that I contact my Maryland Cooperative Extension Agency, which I did last week, to find out when the moths lay their eggs. This was done to be prepared for this summer's return of the moths. The agent I spoke to did not have a listing of when the eggs were laid for the shoot tip moth. I would like to try using a fine netting this year. (Netting seems to work against the cicadas). Would white cheese cloth be appropriate? If not, can someone suggest another netting material? Last summer the damage was done beginning on July 14th and lasted for about four days. Should netting cover the pine for two weeks or more (?) prior to July 14th? Thanks for any suggestions.
