I’ve a few ficifolia trees in my small garden. Last season one was decimated by case moths. I trimmed the tree back severely in desperation as insecticides had no effect.
this season another one has been attacked. I’ve tried a few pesticides but I think because the moths are encased, it has no effect on them
I’m aware that they are part of the natural world but because they’re encased have become almost plague like in my garden, they’ve become a real issue.
I have been picking them off and crushing them but I can get to the centre of the tree to deal with the ones lurking there.
do you have any suggestions?
