Tayberry Bush
Good evening,
I planted a tayberry cutting a couple of years ago, which has grown up against the fencing at the back of the garden. This year (and last year incidentally) all of the branches that had leaves last year have been eaten away, each leaf with a series of VERY small holes, that when combined result in only the 'skeleton' of the leaf being present. Has anyone got an idea what is causing this? Many thanks. Cheers, Andrew |

This can be a perennial problem. Brian. |

I looked this up on the 'net and, amongst other things, found these links: http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile...rry_sawfly.asp http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net...es/000067.html Have to admit that I couldn't find any presence of the sawfly, but it appears to be a problem that has to be caught early in the season - I'll look out for them next spring! Once again, many thanks. Cheers, Andrew |
