Theoretically, if I move the orphans I was able to save from my borer plague to a new area and make a cheesecloth or netting tent over them before the borer moths hatch, would it protect them this fall?
I tried the borer squish technique this spring, but when I went down the leaf there was just thick goo and I couldn't see any borers. Eventually, however I did find some still in the leaf. I assume this is what my plague of rot is this year.
