I didn't know anyone was fighting against insects on perennial plants. I've certainly never bothered, I've never seen insects do enough damage to be bothered. However, I'm not going to leave cabbage moths to destroy my brassicas, because they absolutely will not stop until the plant is a nub in the soil.
- bregma 3y agoI have current bushes. Every year, one day in June, the cutworms emerge and strip all the bushes of the foliage in about 8 hours leaving nothing but bunches of red berries dangling from naked sticks. It doesn't kill the plants, but neither do they thrive. Still, it's the tent caterpillars that are the worst. They'll strip all trees and bushes in a 20 metre radius and some years there's a nest every 10 metres. Not good in an orchard.
