Walking through the orchard a few minutes ago I saw 3 frass tubes sticking
out about one inch above ground level of one of my American Persimmon
seedlings (about 8' tall). I did not find any on the other trees. My
books don't mention a persimmon borer. Anyone know of the critter? Any
preventative? Should I poke around with a thin wire and try to kill them?
Thanks
