Insects and mites are inevitable, generally welcome (even necessary) residents in gardens and landscapes, but some can spell trouble. Southern pine beetle is dramatically changing our pine forests and can be a serious threat to landscape plants, hemlock woolly adelgid kills host trees, box tree moth is changing the way we look at and use boxwoods. Bush crickets might be responsible for all that new damage to your rhododendron leaves. This presentation will discuss the evolving insect world we and our landscape conifers and broad-leaved evergreens now find ourselves in.
