I've had a time with ambrosia beetles attacking my mulberry trees. Anyone having this problem too?The mulberry from Chesnut Hill/Walmart died back and didnt grow much after that. Last i checked, it looked dead. I'll have to check it again when Spring comes. I'm hoping maybe it resprouts from lower on the trunk but Im not hopeful. I grafted some alba/hybrid rootstocks with a few different varieties. They are doing well.
That was my experience with the Chestnut Hill everbearing mulberry also. I bought four of them on clearance a few years back and planted them in south Louisiana. They grew great the first couple of years, but they were always one of the first trees to leaf out each year. We had a very warm February 2023 with a late March freeze down to 22 and it killed three of the four. I looked at the remaining one yesterday and it has shriveled fruit that froze a couple of weeks ago. I am not sure why these trees want to start so early, but they do.The mulberry from Chesnut Hill/Walmart died back and didnt grow much after that.
I don't. They will bore the trunk of the tree leaving "dust tunnels" behind (best I can explain it).Got pics of those beetles?
See those pretty often up here in NY on other tpyes of trees. Montreal logging trucks haul it back to their den, but cant move firewood 50 miles.I don't. They will bore the trunk of the tree leaving "dust tunnels" behind (best I can explain it).
