I was a bit dismayed when I noticed a lot of very holey leaves on my young plum trees. Worst on the Alderman plum and a bit less on the Superior plum. Looking closely at the plants I noticed several greenish gold black beetles about as big as the tip of finger and figured that this is what was eating the leaves. I knocked as many as I could find into a container and dispatched them... The trees are
still small enough to do this without much effort, but it still takes time. Any suggestions?
