NEW VIDEO ON RUGOSE SPIRALING WHITEFLY from Dr. Dougbug & Collier Co. Master Gardeners Video crew

Greetings!

 

Please take a look at this new YouTube & direct your customers to give it a "look-see" as well. I predict this pest will be a big one to  battle  this year. I'm still looking for the most waxed out & sooty mold images to illustrate the mess this pest can be! So send any potential RSW photo winners in to me!

 

Please see updated host list( 90 plant species now). Dr. Mannion rearranged the plants into various categories, so its only a 2 page list not really 6!

 

ALSO!  I'm still seeing a remarkable amount of palm and hardwood tree pruning abuse.

 

We have videos to educate the public & supplement  training efforts in your companies and help HOA management and landscape committees recognize industry pruning standards which help, not hinder,  plant survival!  See YouTube channel at very bottom for those pruning videos.
