Self-seeded hellebore - maybe 5 or 6 years old now. Hellebore already starting to change to mature colouration.Ĥ. Here's what I discovered this lovely day. I always think that when I see the first slug that spring has truly arrived. Now, however, all kinds of other flowers are joining in the display and leaves are starting to show on bare branches. Hellebores have been real troupers so far in 2022, bringing life and colour to an otherwise quite drab scene. ![]() ![]() The reason I think this is a good idea is that the original thread is getting to be a bit unwieldy. Perhaps the few posts that she has made so far this year could be moved over. I propose starting a new virtual garden tour for 2022 if other contributors like are in agreement. Under this mound of snow is a yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard'Īnd the first casualty of 2022 - the weight of the snow and ice snapped off several large limbs of my arbutus unedo This yucca rostrata had been potted for several years while it grew roots but last Fall I figured it was robust enough to finally be planted.hope I wasn't wrong The earlier postings come first, so I have copied Margot's introduction into posting.Īfter watching the snows almost disappear a couple of days ago when the temperatures reached a high of 4C we woke up to this.

If you have questions, don’t hesitate to call to speak to a #PurplePoloPro. With proactive planting, we can start to change our landscapes little by little and in turn reduce pesticide usage along the way. But by diversifying our plant communities, our landscapes won’t be completely wiped out from one bug. There will always be a new bug to come along and there’s probably never going to be a quick, easy fix. The Japanese Beetle isn’t the first, nor will it be the last pest to fly in and do damage. Plant diversification, especially when it comes to trees, brings so many benefits to our community and will always be important to our landscapes. ![]() Here is a list of Perennial Plants Seldom Damaged: But we do recommend diversifying your landscape. Again, we’re not saying you need to cut out your rose bushes or stop planting them completely. Some shrubs we’ve noticed that the Japanese Beetle are particularly fond of include roses, buckthorn, and Aronia. Read more about tree diversification in our previous blog: A Tribute to our Tomorrows.

Now, we’re not saying you need to chop down these trees or want to discourage the planting of them. They seem to be fond of plants within the Rose Family hence: Apple, Plum, Cherry, and now Serviceberry. We’ve also noticed them eating Japanese Maples and Serviceberries. Some of the beetle’s current favorite foods on the tree menu include Lindens, Birch, and Elm trees. Instead of talking treatment in this blog (which won’t eliminate the problem from reoccurring) let’s talk about planting for the future. ![]() Check out more about this beetle in an article by Jonathan Larson on the Nebraska Extension: Community Environment page. This pest is relatively new to Nebraska and as their name implies they’re actually Japan natives. But don’t let their getup dazzle you as they turn leaves and blooms in your garden to skeletons. If you haven’t, the Japanese Beetle is a colorful mixture of iridescent green and copper. You may have noticed this hungry beetle munching on plants in your garden this year.
