Question of the Week – Wood Boring Beetle
14.08.2024 - 12:59 / hgic.clemson.edu / Justin Ballew
What caused the oval-shaped holes in this young pecan tree?
These oval-shaped holes were created by a wood boring beetle from either the Buprestidae or Cerambycidae families. Without seeing the beetle or larvae, it is impossible to say which. These beetles commonly attack stressed trees. Eggs are usually laid in cracks or crevices in the bark, and the larvae hatch and create shallow galleries packed with frass underneath the bark. It can be difficult to tell exactly what is stressing out an infested tree, though in this case, this tree was planted less than a year ago and never leafed out. It was certainly under transplant stress, making it a prime target for wood boring beetles.

How To Save Tomato Seeds So You Can Plant Them Next Year
Transport yourself back to the beginning of summer. You planted a few tomato plants in the hopes you'd have a summer full of tomato sandwiches, tomato pies, and simple lunches of juicy tomato slices with a simple dressing of olive oil, salt, and cracked pepper. A few months later, and one of your tomato plants is going above and beyond. It's delivering a bounty of rich, flavorful tomatoes, and you're wondering how you can recreate this harvest next summer.

20 Native Florida Plants That Thrive in the State’s Heat and Humidity
Florida’s climate is one of its most important assets. Nicknamed the “Sunshine State,” Florida boasts a humid subtropical climate in the north and central sections along with a tropical climate throughout a majority of the south.
