Title: Boston Ivy
Post by: chriszog on May 11, 2006, 21:28:23
Help.. Something is eating the new shoots and leaves are cleanly cut. I cant see anything on it but whatever they are leave small sugary like deposits. Any ideas what it could be or how to treat it.
Thanks in anticipation.

Doesn't sound like anything I've heard of, by sugarry do you mean crystaline like salt/sugar?

Yes spot on . The leaves are eated very cleanly. no ragged edges. I was thinking perhaps earwigs but have never had this problem before?????
HELP.

I've seen it a couple of times but don't know what does it, is it still a problem? it always went away of it's own accord for me!
