Re: Collected Wisteria
Hi Ken,
Well mate, it looks like they have taken off very well. Great to see some flowers, that should be a good sign of what they will produce in the future.
Regards Ray

Re: Collected Wisteria
Hi ken I think Bodhi was right my friend. Virginia creeper has 5 leaflets per leaf. And Boston Poison Ivy has 3.

Re: Collected Wisteria
Upon looking further, most photos I can find of Boston Ivy, show a single leaf with 3 distinct lobes similar to trident maple like theseSpongeMann wrote:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... uilles.jpg
a few leaves look like 3 separate ones but not many.
Parthenocissus_semicordata, looks very close to it though which I will go with. The leaves on the tree look a lot exactly like this one, and have a rough texture as well.

Re: Collected Wisteria
After a great start, upon checking my trees this morning i notice both of these have serious rot issues and dieback, and upon investigation find lots of grubs under the dead bark.
brings up a few questions,
what sort of grubs are they? To me it looks like 2 different types. I cannot find a match so any help would be good.
1 with stumpy brown body and many short legs
the other thin white grub with brown head.
Does the Grubs cause the dieback and thus rot?
if so how to stop them being infested and causing it?
If they are just opportunistic and infest a rotting tree then how do we stop them in the first place. the cut ends stay dry and were treated so do not quite get the process in place
Lastly, Ideas on what to do now?
I will cut back all dead wood and treat the ends again but will it continue?

Re: Collected Wisteria
I have had them and they are nasty!
I have noticed a trend and I they are some type of borers and will destroy your trees very quickly.
All my trees that have been attacked was in too much shade (ie against the fence and it always seem to be the side facing the fence that gets attacked first or under a very heavy canopy where the sun don't shine)
There will be many so I've had to use wire to get them, break into cavities, tried, sprays but not confident to reach them, used blow torch etc

Re: Collected Wisteria
btw very nice Wisterias indeed!
The rot was not there fyi, not sure how they get there but I think they get laid into very small crevices and tunnel their way in. Often at the bast of trunks and by the time you realise, your tree (or at least in my case) have weakened tremendously and have caused diebacks and rots of many parts often destroying the the look as it rots from inside out.
Good luck but yes asap surgical op needed

They love damp, dark places with lots of fungus and rotting plant material to feed on. Will eat seedings but mostly harmless.
