Question From: M. Templeton - Naples, Florida, United States
Q: I have 2 Blue Porterweeds. There are many areas with a sawdust type material and a hole underneath it. Could you please tell me what pest might be causing this and how we could eliminate them? Ive searched the internet with no success. thank you
Sorry Mike, I live in Michigan and am not familiar with Porterweeds, much less the pest thats chewing on them. I googled bugs that chew wood in Florida and found several. I'd also ask at your local independent garden center or nursery. A certified arborist could help you. To find one in your area go to www.tcia.org and enter your zip code. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
