stone thank you for your excellent reply!! I just found out that the Luna moth uses the sweet gum as a host plant and I have a tree. Bought 2 pawpaws a few yrs ago and ordered some tulip poplar seeds. I had a Dutchman's pipe plant, don't know if it's still there, way too shaded by my gingers. Have seed but I understand it's persnickety, I'll plant those in the spring.
Desmodium is a type of beggar lice? My dogs come home with those so I'll leave that for the wild areas in the neighborhood. Have many of the trees the Imperial moth
